Atheliales
Atheliales is an order of mostly corticioid or athelioid fungi placed under the Agaricomycetidae subclass. It was first described by Walter Jülich in 1981 along with 4 families, Lobuliciaceae, Atheliaceae, Byssocorticiaceae and Pilodermataceae. Another family was discovered in 2020 called Tylosporaceae. It contains roughly 100 described species in 20 genera with varied ecological diversity. Most species have relatively simple gross morphology and do not have a lot of diagnostic characters. They produce crust-like fruiting bodies attached loosely to their substrate.

Los Atheliaceae son una familia de fungi del orden monotípico de Atheliales. Ambos, el orden y la familia fueron documentados por W. Jülich en 1981.[1] De acuerdo con una estimación realizada en 2008 la familia contiene 22 géneros y 106 especies.[2] Géneros Amphinema Athelia Athelicium Athelopsis Butlerelfia Byssocorticium Byssoporia Digitatispora Elaphocephala Fibulomyces Hypochnella Hypochniciellum Leptosporomyces Lobulicium Lyoathelia Melzericium Mycostigma Piloderma Pteridomyces Taeniospora Tylospora Referencias ↑ Jülich W.

Atheliales is an order of mostly corticioid or athelioid fungi placed under the Agaricomycetidae subclass. It was first described by Walter Jülich in 1981 along with 4 families, Lobuliciaceae, Atheliaceae, Byssocorticiaceae and Pilodermataceae. Another family was discovered in 2020 called Tylosporaceae. It contains roughly 100 described species in 20 genera with varied ecological diversity. Most species have relatively simple gross morphology and do not have a lot of diagnostic characters. They produce crust-like fruiting bodies attached loosely to their substrate.
== Taxonomy == Traditionally, the classification of basidiomycetes placed significant emphasis on readily observable features, such as the construction of the basidiocarp or the hymenophore. In 1981, Jülich introduced the order Atheliales among other new families and orders, in an attempt to classify the higher order of basidiomycetes. The order Atheliales was later found to be closely related to the Agaricales and Boletales, forming the monophyletic group known as the subclass Agaricomycetidae (class Agaricomycotina) in a 2007 study.
