Myxotrichum Chartarum
''Myxotrichum chartarum'' is a psychrophilic and cellulolytic fungus first discovered in Germany by Gustav Kunze in 1823. Its classification has changed many times over its history to better reflect the information available at the time. Currently, ''M. chartarum'' is known to be an ascomycete surrounded by a ascocarp#Gymnothecium, gymnothecium composed of ornate spines and releases asexual ascospores. The presence of cellulolytic processes are common in fungi within the family Myxotrichaceae. ''M. chartarum'' is one of many ''Myxotrichum'' species known to degrade paper and paper products. Evidence of ''M. chartarum'' "red spot" mold formation, especially on old books, can be found globally. As a result, this fungal species and other cellulolytic molds are endangering old works of art and books. Currently, there is no evidence that suggests that species within the family Myxotrichaceae are pathogenic. History and taxonomy ''Myxotrichum chartarum'' was discovered by Gustav Kunze in ...
