The Sphaerophoraceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. Species of this family have a widespread distribution, especially in southern temperate regions.^[3] Sphaerophoraceae was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1831.^[4]

Genera

Sphaerophoraceae contains 6 genera and 39 species. Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species:^[5]
