The Cainiaceae are a family of (previously) two genera of fungi in the order Xylariales. The family was circumscribed by John C. Krug in 1979. [1]
Eurotiomycetes is a large class of ascomycetes with cleistothecial ascocarps within the subphylum Pezizomycotina, currently containing around 3810 species according to the Catalogue of Life. It is the third largest lichenized class, with more than 1200 lichen species that are mostly bitunicate in the formation of asci. It contains most of the fungi previously known morphologically as "Plectomycetes".
Neurospora is a genus of Ascomycete fungi. The genus name, meaning "nerve spore" refers to the characteristic striations on the spores that resemble axons.
Krug Champagne is a Champagne house founded by Joseph Krug in 1843. It is based principally in Reims, the main city in France's Champagne region and is one of the famous Champagne houses that formed part of the Grandes marques. Today the house is majority owned by the multinational conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton S.E. whose portfolio includes other well known wine brands such as Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Château d'Yquem and Ruinart. Despite LVMH's majority ownership, the Krug family is still actively involved in all the key decisions of the house but does not manage the day-to-day operations.
The Xylariaceae are a family of mostly small ascomycetous fungi. It is one of the most commonly encountered groups of ascomycetes and is found throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world. They are typically found on wood, seeds, fruits, or plant leaves, some even associated with insect nests. Most decay wood and many are plant pathogens.
Placida is a genus of very small or minute sea slugs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Limapontiidae.
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 were 41 genera placed within the family, although the position of 13 of those genera is uncertain. The 2020 Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa severely reduced the family to 4 members.
Krugiodendron ferreum, commonly known as the black ironwood or leadwood, is a species of tree in the family Rhamnaceae. It is found in southern Florida, throughout the Caribbean and from southern Mexico to Honduras. Originally described by Martin Vahl, its specific epithet is the Latin adjective ferreus ("iron-like").
The Chaetothyriaceae are a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. A recent (2012) molecular analysis of specimens collected from northern Thailand revealed three new species in the family.
Atrotorquata is a genus of fungi in the family Cainiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Atrotorquata lineata, found in the US and first described in 1993.
Cainia is a genus of fungi in the family Cainiaceae. The genus, widespread in temperate regions, contains three species that grow on grasses.
Selinia is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. It consisted of two species in 2008, and had 5 species in 2023.
Delitschia is a genus of fungi in the family Delitschiaceae.
Trichobolus is a genus of fungi in the Thelebolaceae family.
Hypocenomyce is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ophioparmaceae. Species in the genus grow on bark and on wood, especially on burned tree stumps and trunks in coniferous forest. Hypocenomyce lichens are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere.
Zopfiella is a genus of fungi within the Lasiosphaeriaceae family.
Rhytidospora is a genus of fungi within the family Ceratostomataceae.
Preussia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae. The widespread genus contains 51 species that grow on dung or in the soil.
Bertia is a genus of fungi within the Bertiaceae family, and Hypocreomycetidae subclass.
Cainia desmazieri is a species of fungus in the family Cainiaceae. It was first described as a new species by Claude Moreau and Emil Müller in 1963, and then later validly published in 1978.
