Chaetothyriales

The Chaetothyriales are an order of ascomycetous fungi in the class Eurotiomycetes and within the subclass Chaetothyriomycetidae. The order was circumscribed in 1987 by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow.

Herpotrichiellaceae is a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. It contains 16 genera and about 270 species. The type genus of the family, Herpotrichiella, is now synonymous with Capronia.

Exophiala is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the Herpotrichiellaceae family. The widespread genus contains 28 species. The genus was formally described by J. W. Carmichael in 1966.

The Chaetothyriaceae are a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. A 2012 molecular analysis of specimens collected from northern Thailand revealed three new species in the family (Ceramothyrium thailandicum, Chaetothyrium brischofiacola and Phaeosaccardinula ficus).

Capronia is a genus of fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. It has about 80 species.

Chaetothyrium is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae.

The Coccodiniaceae are a family of fungi in the order Chaetothyriales. The family was circumscribed in 1918 by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel as "Coccodiniaceen" (an invalid naming according to the rules of fungal taxonomy), the family was renamed by O.E. Eriksson in 1981. Species in the family have a widespread distribution and typically grow epiphytically or biotrophically on leaves and stems.

Fonsecaea is a genus of fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. The type species, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, is associated with the disease chromoblastomycosis.

Yatesula is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae.

Phialophora is a form genus of fungus with short conidiophores, sometimes reduced to phialides; their conidia are unicellular. They may be parasites (including on humans), or saprophytic (including on apples).

Dennisiella is a genus of fungi in the family Coccodiniaceae. It has 9 species. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Augusto Chaves Batista and Raffaele Ciferri in 1962, with Dennisiella babingtonii designated as the type species. The generic name honours British mycologist R. W. G. Dennis. Fungi in this genus are epifoliar; that is, they live on living plant surfaces, particularly leaves.

Microtheliopsidaceae is a family of fungi in the order Chaetothyriales. It contains four genera: Byrsomyces, Chaetomonodorus, Micropyrenula, and Microtheliopsis.

Cladophialophora is a genus of fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. It has 35 species. The genus contains black yeast-like fungi, some of which are species of important medical significance. Cladophialophora bantiana causes the rare brain disease cerebral phaeohyphomycosis. Cladophialophora carrionii is a common cause of chromoblastomycosis in semi-arid climates. Some of the species are endophytes–associating with plants. For example, Cladophialophora yegresii is a cactus endophyte, which is sometimes introduced into humans via cactus spines.

species of fungus

Epibryon is a genus of fungi, and the sole genus in the monogeneric family Epibryaceae. It has about 40 species. Many of the species grow parasitically on bryophytes. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Peter Döbbeler in 1978; the family by Soili Stenroos and Cécile Gueidan in 2014.

Rhinocladiella is a genus of yeast-like fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. It has 17 species. The genus was circumscribed by Swedish botanist John Axel Nannfeldt in 1934 with R. atrovirens as the type species.

Actinocymbe is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae.

Pyrenothrix is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pyrenotrichaceae. It comprises two species of filamentous lichens, which are organisms formed by a symbiotic relationship between fungi and photosynthetic partners. The genus is characterized by its unique structure, featuring densely arranged filaments composed of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) wrapped in fungal threads. Pyrenothrix species form dark greyish-brown growths on various surfaces, with one species found on tree bark and the other on leaves in tropical forests. The genus was circumscribed in 1917 by American scien

Phaeosaccardinula is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae.
