Sporobolomyces is a genus of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. It is also known as "mirror yeast", due to its forceful ejection of its spores, which can create a "mirror image" of a growing colony when grown between two opposing agar surfaces.

Sporidiobolaceae
The Sporidiobolales are an order of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. The order contains a single family, the Sporidiobolaceae, which currently contains three genera. Most species are known only from their yeast states. Hyphal states produce teliospores from which auricularioid (tubular and laterally septate) basidia emerge, bearing basidiospores. Species occur worldwide and have been isolated (as yeasts) from a wide variety of substrates. Two species, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and R. glutinis, have been known to cause disease in humans.
