Cyttaria
''Cyttaria'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi. About 10 species belong to ''Cyttaria'', found in South America and Australia associated with or growing on southern beech trees from the genus ''Nothofagus''. The "llao llao" fungus '' Cyttaria hariotii'', one of the most common fungi in Andean-Patagonian forests, has been shown to harbor the yeast ''Saccharomyces eubayanus'', which may be source of the lager yeast '' S. pastorianus'' cold-tolerance. ''Cyttaria'' was originally described by mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley Miles Joseph Berkeley (1 April 1803 – 30 July 1889) was an English cryptogamist and clergyman, and one of the founders of the science of plant pathology. Life Berkeley was born at Biggin Hall, Benefield, Northamptonshire, and educated at R ... in 1842. References Taxa named by Miles Joseph Berkeley Leotiomycetes genera {{Leotiomycetes-stub ...

Cyttaria Gunnii
''Cyttaria gunnii'', commonly known as the myrtle orange or beech orange, is an orange-white coloured and edible mushroom, edible Ascomycota, ascomycete fungus native to Australia and New Zealand. It is a specific parasite of myrtle beech (''Nothofagus cunninghamii'') trees. History English botanist Miles Joseph Berkeley described the beech orange in 1848. In 1886, a New Zealand fungus similar to the beech orange was described as ''Cyttaria purdiei''; later, however, the two species were assumed to be the same. A molecular phylogenetics, molecular study has now found the Australian and New Zealand fungi known as ''C. gunnii'' to be two distinct species. New Zealand populations are restricted to ''Nothofagus menziesii'' while the Australian ones are only found on ''Nothofagus cunninghamii'' and are hence found in southern Victoria and Tasmania. The 1889 book 'The Useful Native Plants of Australia records that "This edible fungus is found on the branches of Fagus Cunnittgham ...

Cyttaria Espinosae
''Cyttaria espinosae'' (Lloyd), also known by its local name digüeñe, dihueñe, lihueñe, quireñe, pinatra, or quideñe, is an orange-white coloured and edible ascomycete fungus native to south-central Chile and Argentinean Patagonia. The digüeñe is a strict and specific parasite of ''Nothofagus'', mainly ''Nothofagus obliqua'' trees and cause canker-like galls on branches from which the fruiting bodies emerge between spring and early summer. The pitted surface generates air turbulence, preventing a build-up of static air around the fruitbodies, thus facilitating wind-borne spore dispersal. Culinary use C. espinosae's flavor is described as between sweet and bland. In Patagonian cuisine, the digüeñe is usually consumed fresh in salads or fried with scrambled eggs for empanada stuffing. They are traditionally consumed by the Mapuche people The Mapuche ( (Mapuche & Spanish: )) are a group of indigenous inhabitants of south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina, inclu ...

Cyttaria Hariotii
''Cyttaria hariotii'' is an edible mushroom commonly called llao llao, llaullao and pan de indio. The fungus, found in Patagonia, southern Chile and Argentina, is parasitic on ''Nothofagus'' (Southern beech) trees. The fungus affects its hosts internally in its sap ducts; the tree defends itself by generating gall Galls (from the Latin , 'oak-apple') or ''cecidia'' (from the Greek , anything gushing out) are a kind of swelling growth on the external tissues of plants, fungi, or animals. Plant galls are abnormal outgrowths of plant tissues, similar to be ...s to bypass the sap blockages. The fungus expands out of the gall to other parts of the tree. That grows in the branches of the trees as if it was a fruit. This one is a great eatable mushroom of sweet flavor with which desserts, sweets and even icecreams are made.

Leotiomycetes
The Leotiomycetes are a class of ascomycete fungi. Many of them cause serious plant diseases. Systematics The class Leotiomycetes contains numerous species with an anamorph placed within the ''fungi imperfecti'' (deuteromycota), that have only recently found their place in the phylogenetic system. The older classifications placed Leotiomycetes into the Discomycetes clade ( inoperculate Discomycetes). Molecular studies have recently shed some new light to the still obscure systematics. Most scholars consider Leotiomycetes a sister taxon to Sordariomycetes in the phylogenetic tree of Pezizomycotina. Its division into subclasses have received strong support by the molecular data, but the overall monophyly of Leotiomycetes is dubious. The order Lichinodiales and family Lichinodiaceae, newly circumscribed in 2019 to contain the genus cyanolichen genus '' Lichinodium'', is the first known group of lichen-forming fungi in the Leotiomycetes.

Saccharomyces Eubayanus
''Saccharomyces eubayanus'', a cryotolerant (cold tolerant) type of yeast, is most likely the parent of the lager brewing yeast, ''Saccharomyces pastorianus''.. Lager is a type of beer created from malted barley and fermented at low temperatures, originally in Bavaria. ''S. eubayanus'' was first discovered in Patagonia, possibly being an example of Columbian exchange The Columbian exchange, also known as the Columbian interchange, was the widespread transfer of plants, animals, precious metals, commodities, culture, human populations, technology, diseases, and ideas between the New World (the Americas) in ..., and is capable of fermenting glucose, along with the disaccharide maltose at reduced temperatures. History With the emergence of lager beer in the XVth century, S. ''eubayanus'' was considered to be the progenitor of S. ''pastorianus'' along with S. ''cerevisiae''. Since 1985 the non-''cerevisiae'' ancestor has been contentiously debated between S. ''eubayanus'', a ...

Ascomycota
Ascomycota is a phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with the Basidiomycota, forms the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. It is the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64,000 species. The defining feature of this fungal group is the " ascus" (), a microscopic sexual structure in which nonmotile spores, called ascospores, are formed. However, some species of the Ascomycota are asexual, meaning that they do not have a sexual cycle and thus do not form asci or ascospores. Familiar examples of sac fungi include morels, truffles, brewers' and bakers' yeast, dead man's fingers, and cup fungi. The fungal symbionts in the majority of lichens (loosely termed "ascolichens") such as ''Cladonia'' belong to the Ascomycota. Ascomycota is a monophyletic group (it contains all descendants of one common ancestor). Previously placed in the Deuteromycota along with asexual species from other fungal taxa, asexual (or anamorphic) ascomyce ...
