There are eleven Sirodesmium epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but six species have been transferred to Coniosporium, Consetiella, Peyronelia and Piricauda. Sirodesmium is reported on a wide range of hosts such as Agave sp. (Asparagaceae), Cedrus brevifolia (Pinaceae), Hibiscus tiliaceus (Malvaceae), Magnolia virginiana (Magnoliaceae), Populus sp.
