The asexual morph of this fungus was obtained in culture and the culture was sequenced. The genus is placed in the Bionectriaceae based on ascomata not changing colour in 3% KOH or lactic acid, and phylogenetic comparison of LSU sequences with species in 14 genera of the Bionectriaceae. Lasionectriopsis is primarily characterized by whitish to pale orange, globose ascomata, semi-immersed in a subiculum, and verruculose ascospores. Based on molecular data, two species known only as asexual morphs, Acremonium pteridii and A. spinosum, are recombined in Lasionectriopsis.}}
