Helminthosporium is a group of fungi. Helminthosporium belongs to the Massarinaceae family and is of the Pleosporales order. Currently, 60 species belong to the Helminthosporium genus. However, there is some uncertainty about how many species belong to this genus.[1]

Members of the Helminthosporium genus are most visible in their asexual morph. These species are considered saprobes and are distributed worldwide. They have been seen to infect a range of hosts.[2]
