Cryptococcus Consortionis
''Cryptococcus consortionis'' is a fungus species. It produces colonies that are cream colored with a glistening, mucoid appearance. When grown in liquid media, this species requires constant agitation. This species growth range is from 4 °C to 23 °C, with growth at 23 °C occurring very slowly. On the microscopic level, ''C. consortionis'' appears ovoid, with a thin capsule. Sexual reproduction does not occur in this species, but it asexually reproduces through budding at the birth scar site. Very occasionally, the cells have been observed to produce three celled pseudomycelia. ''C. consortionis'' does not ferment. This species produces Amylose, but it is the only basidioblastomycete which does so but is unable to also assimilate cellobiose, D-galactose, mannitol, myo-inositol and nitrate. ''C. consortionis'' is DBB positive. This species required thiamine for proper growth, and its growth is slowed by small amounts of cycloheximide. ''C. consortionis'' does not ...

Tremellomycetes
The Tremellomycetes are a class of dimorphic fungi in the Agaricomycotina. Some species have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies) or (microscopically) a sacculate parenthesome. There are six orders, 17 families, and 39 genera in the Tremellomycetes. Tremellomycetes include yeasts, dimorphic taxa, and species that form complex fruiting bodies. Tremellomycetes include some fungi that are human and animal pathogens in the genera '' Cryptococcus'', '' Naganishia'', '' Papiliotrema'', and '' Trichosporon'' and some fungi that are cultivated for food in the genera '' Tremella'' and '' Naematelia''. ''Tremellomycetidae'' is a class of lichen in the Basidiomycota Basidiomycota () is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Members are known as basidiomycetes. More specifically, Basi ... division. It only held one order, Tremellales. It was also a forme ...
