Bryales is an order of mosses.

Taxonomy

The order Bryales includes the following five families:^[1]^[2]

Bryaceae Schwägr.
Leptostomataceae Schwägr.
Mniaceae Schwägr.
Phyllodrepaniaceae Schwägr.
Pulchrinodaceae D. Quandt, N.E. Bell & Stech

The order used to be defined broadly to include the Rhizogoniales, but is now used in a narrower sense.^[3] A species of the Mniaceae genus Rhizomnium, Rhizomnium dentatum, was described from fossil gametophytes preserved in Baltic amber.^[4]

The families Catoscopiaceae and Pseudoditrichaceae were previously placed in Bryales, but are now placed in Dicranidae as part of an early branching grade.^[2]^[5]
