Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Xylariales
The Xylariales are an order (biology), order of fungi within the class (biology), class Sordariomycetes (also known as Pyrenomycetes), subdivision Pezizomycotina, division (mycology), division Ascomycota. It is the only order of the Class (taxonomy), subclass Xylariomycetidae. Xylariales was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 1932 by Swedish mycologist John Axel Nannfeldt, and Xylariomycetidae by Ove Erik Eriksson and Katarina Winka in 1997. Type: ''Xylaria'' Families * Amphisphaeriaceae * Barrmaeliaceae * Castanediellaceae * Clypeosphaeriaceae * Diatrypaceae * Graphostromataceae * Hypoxylaceae * Hyponectriaceae * Lopadostomataceae * Microdochiaceae * Myelospermataceae * Polystigmataceae * Requienellaceae * Xylariaceae * Zygosporiaceae Genera incertae sedis: *''Adomia'' *''Diamantinia'' *''Lasiobertia'' *''Palmicola'' *''Pulmosphaeria'' *''Yuea'' References Xylariales, Ascomycota orders Lichen orders Taxa named by John Axel Nannfeldt Taxa described in 1932 ...

Amphisphaeriaceae
The ''Amphisphaeriaceae'' are a family of fungi that is mainly found in parts of New Zealand, South America, Asia and parts of Europe. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, there are 41 genera placed within the family, although the position of 13 of those genera is uncertain. Origins and controversies This family of fungi was established as ''Amphispaerieae'' to contain the previously unclassified genera '' Caryospora'', '' Strickeria'', '' Ohleria'', and ''Amphisphaeria'', among others. However, the name was forgotten over time. In 1964, the name was reintroduced as the current ''Amphisphaeriaceae'', and genera such as '' Apiorynchostoma'', and again, ''Amphisphaeria''. There was plenty of controversy about which order the Amphisphaeriaceae should be placed in. In 1973, ''Amphisphaeriaceae'' was placed under the order '' Sphaeriales'' (and some sources still classify it as such).In 1983, however, Amphisphaeriaceae was placed in under the order '' Amphisphaeriales'', alon ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
