Sordariomycetes Enigmatic Taxa

	Sordariomycetes Enigmatic Taxa Sordariomycetes is a class of fungi in the subdivision Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota), consisting of 28 orders, 90 families, 1344 genera. Sordariomycetes is from the Latin sordes (filth) because some species grow in animal feces, though growth habits vary widely across the class. Sordariomycetes generally produce their asci in perithecial fruiting bodies. Sordariomycetes are also known as Pyrenomycetes, from the Greek πυρἠν - 'the stone of a fruit' - because of the usually somewhat tough texture of their tissue. Sordariomycetes possess great variability in morphology, growth form, and habitat. Most have perithecial (flask-shaped) fruiting bodies, but ascomata can be less frequently cleistothecial (like in the genera '' Anixiella'', ''Apodus'', '' Boothiella'', ''Thielavia'', '' Zopfiella''),. Fruiting bodies may be solitary or gregarious, superficial, or immersed within stromata or tissues of the substrates and can be light to bright or black. Members of this group can grow ...

picture info	Sordaria Fimicola ''Sordaria fimicola'' is a species of microscopic fungus. It is commonly found in the feces of herbivores. ''Sordaria fimicola'' is often used in introductory biology and mycology labs because it is easy to grow on nutrient agar in dish cultures. The genus ''Sordaria'', closely related to ''Neurospora and Podospora'', is a member of the large class Sordariomycetes, or flask-fungi. The natural habitat of the three species of ''Sordaria'' that have been the principal subjects in genetic studies is dung of herbivorous animals. The species ''S. fimicola'' is common and worldwide in distribution. The species of ''Sordaria'' are similar morphology (biology), morphologically, producing black perithecia containing asci with eight dark ascospores in a linear arrangement. These species share a number of characteristics that are advantageous for genetic studies. They all have a short biological life cycle, life cycle, usually 7–12 days, and are easily grown in culture. Most species a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Sordariales The order Sordariales is one of the most diverse taxonomic groups within the Sordariomycetes (subdivision Pezizomycotina, division Ascomycota). Species in the order Sordariales have a broad range of ecological diversity, containing lignicolous, herbicolous and coprophilous taxa. Most Sordariales are saprobic, producing solitary perithecial ascomata. They are commonly found on dung or decaying plant matter. The order contains a number of ecologically important species, including the model filamentous fungal genera Podospora and Neurospora, as well as potentially industrial-relevant fungi, such as members of the Chaetomiaceae family, which often produce biologically active secondary metabolites. The order Sordariales furthermore contains the highest diversity of thermophilic fungal species, with isolates present in seven different genera. Families in the order Sordariales Recent phylogenetic studies have aimed to contribute to the natural classification of this order. The most ...

	Phyllachorales Phyllachorales is a small order of perithecial sac fungi containing mostly foliar parasites. This order lacks reliable morphological characters making taxonomic placement of genera difficult. There is controversy among mycologists as to the boundaries of this order. Characteristics In general, members of the Phyllachoraceae produce an ascocarp An ascocarp, or ascoma (), is the fruiting body ( sporocarp) of an ascomycete phylum fungus. It consists of very tightly interwoven hyphae and millions of embedded asci, each of which typically contains four to eight ascospores. Ascocarps are m ... embedded in the host tissue, mostly within a stroma or beneath an epidermal clypeus. The type of development is ascohymenial.

	Coniochaetales The Coniochaetales are an order of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes. This order is monotypic and contains a single family, the Coniochaetaceae, historically placed in the order Sordariales. However, this taxonomic placement has been challenged by other authorities, and the Coniochaetales was proposed to include the family Coniochaetaceae. Species in this family are characterized by having germ-slits in the ascospores, a morphological feature that distinguishes them from species in the Sordariaceae. Phylogenetic research in 2006 revealed that four genera in the family Coniochaetaceae, ''Coniochaeta'', ''Coniochaetidium'', ''Ephemeroascus'', and ''Poroconiochaeta'', were not monophyletic In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants.
