Type species: Acidothrix acidophila Hujslová & M. Kolařík, in Hujslová, Kubátová, Kostovčík, Blanchette, De Beer, Chudíčková & Kolařík, Mycol. Progr. 13(3): 824 (2014)
Notes: Acidothrix was isolated from acidic soil from the Czech Republic (Hujslová et al. 2014). It is known only in its asexual morph and is morphologically similar to acrodontium-like asexual morphs reported for Amplistroma and Wallrothiella (Hujslová et al. 2014).
