Elaphomyces
''Elaphomyces'' (‘deer truffles’) is a genus of hypogeous fungi in the family Elaphomycetaceae. The widespread genus contains 25 truffle-like species. ''Elaphomyces'' is one of the most important ectomycorrhizal fungal genera in temperate and subarctic forest ecosystems. ''E. asperulus'', ''E. granulatus'', and ''E. muricatus'' were found to accumulate arsenic (12–660 mg/kg in dry mass); the composition of organoarsenicals is very unusual, with methylarsonic acid and trimethylarsine oxide as major As compounds.

Monascus
''Monascus'' is a genus of mold. Among the known species of this genus, the red-pigmented ''Monascus purpureus'' is among the most important because of its use in the production of certain fermented foods in East Asia, particularly China and Japan. Species * ''Monascus albidulus'' * ''Monascus argentinensis'' * ''Monascus aurantiacus'' * ''Monascus barkeri'' * ''Monascus eremophilus'' * ''Monascus flavipigmentosus'' * ''Monascus floridanus'' * ''Monascus fumeus'' * ''Monascus lunisporas'' * ''Monascus mellicola'' * ''Monascus mucoroides'' * ''Monascus olei'' * ''Monascus pallens'' * ''Monascus paxii'' * ''Monascus pilosus'' * ''Monascus purpureus'' * ''Monascus recifensis'' * ''Monascus ruber'' * ''Monascus rutilus'' * '' Monascus sanguineus'' * '' Monascus vini'' Phylogeny Phylogeny as given by Bisby et al., 2000, who put the genus into a separate family Monascaceae.

Penicillium
''Penicillium'' () is a genus of ascomycetous fungi that is part of the mycobiome of many species and is of major importance in the natural environment, in food spoilage, and in food and drug production. Some members of the genus produce penicillin, a molecule that is used as an antibiotic, which kills or stops the growth of certain kinds of bacteria. Other species are used in cheesemaking. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains over 300 species. Taxonomy The genus was first described in the scientific literature by Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link in his 1809 work ''Observationes in ordines plantarum naturales''; he wrote, "''Penicillium. Thallus e floccis caespitosis septatis simplicibus aut ramosis fertilibus erectis apice penicillatis''", where ''penicillatis'' means "having tufts of fine hair". Link included three species—'' P. candidum'', '' P. expansum'', and '' P. glaucum''—all of which produ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thermoascus
''Thermoascus'' is a genus of soil fungi in the family Trichocomaceae. Species in the genus are characterized by the production of heat-resistant ascospores. ''Thermoascus'' was circumscribed by German botanist Hugo Miehe in 1907. The type species, '' Thermoascus aurantiacus'', is of research interest because it secretes heat-resistant hydrolase enzymes that could possibly be used in biotechnological applications, such as the conversion of biomass to biofuel Biofuel is a fuel that is produced over a short time span from biomass, rather than by the very slow natural processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil. According to the United States Energy Information Administration (E ...s. Genetic tools have been developed to genetically edit '' Thermoascus aurantiacus'', such as an ''Agrobacterium tumefaciens''-mediated transformation protocol and a CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, which have been used to overexpress genes that correspond to production of enz ...

Trichocomaceae
The Trichocomaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales. Taxa are saprobes with aggressive colonization strategies, adaptable to extreme environmental conditions. Family members are cosmopolitan in distribution, ubiquitous in soil, and common associates of decaying plant and food material. The family contains some of the most familiar fungi, such as ''Penicillium'' and ''Aspergillus''. It has been proposed that the family should be split into the three families Aspergillaceae, Thermoascaceae and Trichocomaceae.

Paecilomyces
''Paecilomyces'' is a genus of fungi. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens. Several of the entomopathogenic species, such as "'' Paecilomyces fumosoroseus''" have now been placed in the genus ''Isaria'': in the order Hypocreales and family Cordycipitaceae. In 1974, R.A. Samson transferred the nematicidal species ''Paecilomyces lilacinus'' to this genus. However, publications in the 2000s (decade) indicated that the genus ''Paecilomyces'' was not monophyletic, and the new genus ''Purpureocillium'' was created to hold the taxon which includes ''P. lilacinum'': with both parts of the name referring to the purple conidia produced by the fungus. Species *'' Paecilomyces aegyptiacus'' *'' Paecilomyces aerugineus'' *'' Paecilomyces albus'' *'' Paecilomyces andoi'' *'' Paecilomyces antarcticus'' *''Paecilomyces aspergilloides'' *'' Paecilomyces atrovirens'' *'' Paecilomyces aureocinnamomeus'' *''Paecilomyces austriacus'' *''Paecilomyces baarnensis'' *''Paecilomyces b ...

Xeromyces
''Xeromyces'' is a monotypic genus of fungus in the family Monascaceae. Its only species, ''Xeromyces bisporus'', was first described by L.R. Fraser in 1954. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life. It is a xerophile, being able to germinate at a water activity levels between 0.62 and 0.97,Pitt, J. I., and J. H. B.
