The Auriculariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales.Species within the family were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia.
Saccharomycotina include some of the economically most important fungi known. Members include species of industrial and agricultural importance (e.g. brewing , baking , fermentation of food products, production of citric acid , production of recombinant proteins , biofuel production, biological pest control of crops).
Fungi cause the majority of plant diseases, which in turn cause serious economic losses. Sometimes, as in the Great Irish Famine of 1845–1849, fungal diseases of plants, in this case potato blight caused by Phytophthora, result in large-scale human suffering. Fungi are similarly the main cause of economic losses of timber in buildings.
The Pezizales are an order of the subphylum Pezizomycotina within the phylum Ascomycota.The order contains 16 families, 199 genera, and 1683 species. [1] It contains a number of species of economic importance, such as morels, the black and white truffles, and the desert truffles.
The Auriculariales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes.Species within the order were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia.
Glomeromycota (often referred to as glomeromycetes, as they include only one class, Glomeromycetes) are one of eight currently recognized divisions within the kingdom Fungi, [3] with approximately 230 described species. [4] Members of the Glomeromycota form arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs) with the thalli of bryophytes and the roots of vascular ...
Chytridiomycetes (/ k ɪ ˌ t r ɪ d i oʊ m aɪ ˈ s iː t iː z,-ˈ s iː t s / [2]) is a class of fungi. Members are found in soil, fresh water, and saline estuaries. They are first known from the Rhynie chert. [3] It has recently been redefined to exclude the taxa Neocallimastigomycota and Monoblepharidomycetes, which are now a phylum and a ...
Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi on plants and specialized parasites on animals. They are found in a wide variety of organic substances, including "mature fruits and vegetables", [2] jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts, and tobacco.
