Camarosporium is a genus of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales,[2] and originally placed in family Coniothyriaceae.[3] It was then placed in the family Camarosporiaceae Wanas., Wijayaw., K.D. Hyde & Crous, 2017 with another genus Camarosporomyces.[4] This has been accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020.[5]

Zachos & Tzav.-Klon._Thum_Gigante (syn Sphaeropsis dalmatica) causes olive drupe rot disease on Olive trees.[6]
