The Microascaceae are a family of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae.[1] The family was published by David Malloch in 1970, an emended description based on Everet Stanley Luttrell's original 1951 publication.[2] Family was updated in 2020.[3]

History[edit]

It was introduced by Luttrell (1951) to accommodate genus Microascus which was originally placed in family Ophiostomataceae (Nannfeldt 1932,[4]) or Eurotiaceae in Eunotiales order, (Moreau and Moreau 1953;[5] Emmons and Dodge 1931;[6] Doguet 1957).[7] Then Malloch (1970) validated the family and accepted genera, Kernia, Lophotrichus and Petriellidium in the family.[2] Sandoval-Denis et al. (2016a,[8] b,[9]) revised Microascaceae and proposed several new taxa and combinations under Microascaceae based on multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. The last treatment of Microascaceae was provided by Hyde et al. (2020),[10] and 23 genera were accepted. Species in this family have a worldwide distribution and most species are saprobes in soil, dung or on decaying plant materials (Seifert et al. 2011;[11] de Beer et al. 2013;[12] Sandoval-Denis et al. 2016 a,[8] b;[9] Hyde et al. 2020a),[10] while a few species are opportunistic pathogens of humans (de Hoog et al. 2011;[13] Sandoval-Denis et al. 2013,[14] 2016;[8] Lackner et al. 2014).[15]

Description[edit]

Microascaceae species have spherical to irregularly shaped, darkly colored fruit bodies. They are usually hairy and rarely smooth. The smooth spores are reddish brown to copper colored, one-celled, and have a germ pore at one or both ends. Asci can occur singly or in chains.[2]

Genera[edit]

As accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020 (with number of species);[3]
