The Sordariomycetes are a diverse clade of fungi that mostly have non-lichenised, flask-shaped fruiting bodies (perithecia) and unitunicate asci (Hongsanan et al. 2017). <==Sordariomycetes [Ostiomycetidae, Pyrenomycetes] |–+–XylariomycetidaeHM17 | `–+–SordariomycetidaeHM17 | `–DiaporthomycetidaeHM17 `–+–LulworthiomycetidaeHM17 `–+–SavoryellomycetidaeHM17 `–HypocreomycetidaeHM17 |–GlomerellalesHM17 `–+–MicroascalesHM17 `–+–HypocrealesHM17 `–+–TorpedosporalesHM17 `–+–CoronophoralesHM17 `–Falcocladium Silveira, Alfenas et al. 1994HM17, KC01… Continue reading Sordariomycetes

Belongs within: Amphisphaeriales. The Amphisphaeriaceae are an assemblage of fungi that are typically saprobic or nectrophic in leaves or stems (Kirk et al. 2001). Characters (Kirk et al. 2001): Stromata crustose, often clypeate, rarely absent; ascomata perithecial, immersed or erumpent, more or less globose, ostiole papillate, periphysate. Interascal tissue of numerous thin-walled usually gelatinised true paraphyses. Asci cylindrical, persistent, with small,… Continue reading Amphisphaeriaceae

Belongs within: Sordariomycetes.Contains: Amphisphaeriales, Xylariaceae. The Xylariomycetidae are a clade of fungi recognised by molecular data, most of which have dark perithecia, amyloid asci, true paraphyses and periphysate ostioles (Hongsanan et al. 2017). <==XylariomycetidaeHM17 |–+–Iodosphaeria Samuels, Müll. & Petrini 1987HM17, KC01 [incl.

Belongs within: Xylariomycetidae.Contains: Xylaria. The Xylariaceae are a group of saprobic or weakly pathogenic fungi found mostly in bark and wood (Kirk et al. 2001). Characters (Kirk et al. 2001): Stromata usually well-developed, varied in morphology, sometimes stipitate and branched, usually black, internal tissue white or concolorous with surface. Ascomata perithecial, black, globose, ostiole periphysate. Interascal tissue well-developed, of narrow, more or… Continue reading Xylariaceae

Belongs within: Sordariales. The Chaetomiaceae are a family of fungi found on cellulose-rich substrates (Kirk et al. 2001). Characters (Kirk et al. 2001): Stromata absent. Ascomata pale or dark, thin-walled, membranous, often with complex ornamented hairs, ostiolate or not. Interascal tissue apparently absent. Asci clavate to saccate, very thin-walled, lacking apical structures, deliquescing when mature. Ascospores brown, often discharged as a… Continue reading Chaetomiaceae

Belongs within: Coronophorales. The Nitschkiaceae are a family of fungi mostly found on wood with some species being lichenicolous (Kirk et al. 2001). Characters (Kirk et al. 2001): Ascomata dark, thick-walled, opening with irregular lysigenous pore, cells with 1 µm diameter perforations (‘Munk pores’); interascal tissue absent; asci clavate, long-stalked, without apical apparatus; ascospores hyaline or brown, usually allantoid, sometimes septate,… Continue reading Nitschkiaceae
