Coniochaeta
The ''Coniochaeta'' are a genus of pleomorphic yeasts of the order ''Coniochaetales'' and are pathogens of trees. Some species have also been found to form endophytic associations within plants in which they live inside plant tissues but do not actually harm the organism. They can take the form of pink to brown colonies, hyphae, conidiophores or sclerotia. In 2013, the ''Lecythophora'' were merged with the ''Coniochaeta'', following suggestions by Ziauddin Khan ''et al''. Ecology The ''Coniochaeta'' have been described as typically associated with wood, water, and soil. However, there is also growing evidence of specialised associations between each species and specific environments, and a suggestion that 4-spored and 8-spored species interact differently with their environments, some species surviving forest fires, which activate their sexual cycle.''Coniochaeta extramundana'', with a Synopsis of Other ''Coniochaeta'' Species.
