The Chorioactidaceae are a family of cup fungi in the order Pezizales, first described to contain seven species distributed among five genera.[1] Pseudosarcosoma was added in 2013 to contain P. latahense when molecular phylogenetic studies demonstrated the fungus to be more closely related to the Chorioactidaceae than to Sarcosoma (family Sarcosomataceae).[2] With the addition of Trichaleurina, the genus is currently composed of six genera.[3]
Ecologically, taxa in this family are saprotrophic, and inhabit temperate and subtropical regions.[3]
