Monascaceae is a former family of fungi in the subclass Eurotiomycetidae. [1]
According to Mycobank, Monascaceae was subdivided as follows: [1]
The primary genus Monascus is currently ranked in Aspergillaceae [2] with most other genera now being synonyms to Monascus .
The Eurotiales are an order of sac fungi, also known as the green and blue molds. It was circumscribed in 1980.
The Trichocomaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales. Taxa are saprobes with aggressive colonization strategies, adaptable to extreme environmental conditions. Family members are cosmopolitan in distribution, ubiquitous in soil, and common associates of decaying plant and food material.
Monascus purpureus is a species of mold that is purplish-red in color. It is also known by the names ang-khak rice mold, corn silage mold, maize silage mold, and rice kernel discoloration.
Monascus is a genus of mold. Among the known species of this genus, the red-pigmented Monascus purpureus is among the most important because of its use in the production of certain fermented foods in East Asia, particularly China and Japan.
Paecilomyces is a genus of fungi. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens.
The Clavicipitaceae are a family of fungi within the order Hypocreales. A 2008 estimate placed 43 genera in the family, but a study in 2020 has increased this number to 50.
The Gomphales are an order of basidiomycete fungi. Some or all families belonging to Gomphales have been sometimes included in the order Phallales, the now-obsolete Ramariaceae was also previously included in Cantharellales. Recent phylogenetic analyses include in Gomphales the families of the original description of the order by Walter Jülich, with addition of Clavariadelphaceae. According to one 2008 estimate, the Gomphales contain 18 genera and 336 species.
The Coniophoraceae are a family of fungi in the Boletales order. The family contains 6 genera and 28 species.
The Lecanorales are an order of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The order contains 26 families, 269 genera, and 5695 species.
Conidiobolus is a genus of fungi in order Entomophthorales. Some species were defined in Conidiobolus but then moved into other genera such as Capillidium and Batkoa.
Eurotiomycetidae is a subclass of the Eurotiomycetes.
Penicillium ehrlichii is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium in the order of Eurotiales. In Penicillium, it is placed in the series Janthinella in the section Lanata-Divaricata.
Thermoascus is a genus of soil fungi in the family Trichocomaceae. Species in the genus are characterized by the production of heat-resistant ascospores. Thermoascus was circumscribed by German botanist Hugo Miehe in 1907.
Gintaras Kantvilas is an Australian lichenologist, who earned his Ph.D in 1985 from the University of Tasmania with a thesis entitled Studies on Tasmanian rainforest lichens. He has authored over 432 species names, and 167 genera in the field of mycology.
John Alan (Jack) Elix emeritus professor in chemistry at the Australian National University, is an organic chemist who has contributed in many fields: lichenology, lichen chemotaxonomy, plant physiology and biodiversity and natural product chemistry. He has authored 2282 species names, and 67 genera in the field of mycology.
Rex Bertram Filson is an Australian lichenologist who made major contributions to knowledge of lichens in Australia and Antarctica.
Amniculicolaceae is a family of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales. First described in 2009 by Y. Zhang ter, C.L. Schoch, J. Fournier, Crous & K.D. Hyde, the type genus is Amniculicola.
Dacampiaceae is a family of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales. The family was first described in 1855 by Gustav Wilhelm Körber.
The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus and Penicillium amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
Paecilomyces formosus is a species of fungus in the genus Paecilomyces in the order of Eurotiales.
