Species of Lophiostoma mostly have immersed to erumpent
ascomata, cellular pseudoparaphyses, and hyaline to dark brown
septate ascospores, often with sheaths or appendages. Based on the
formation of a slit-like ostiolar opening on a laterally compressed
papilla, Lophiostoma was placed in its own family,
Lophiostomataceae (Dothideomycetes).
Species of the genus are common in the tropics, and occur on
submerged as well as terrestrial wood, but also occurs on leaf
litter.
