Pezizomycotina make up the majority of the Ascomycota fungi and include most lichenized fungi too. Pezizomycotina contains the filamentous ascomycetes and is a subdivision of the Ascomycota. It is more or less synonymous with the older taxon Euascomycota. These fungi reproduce by fission rather than budding and this subdivision includes almost all the ascus fungi that have fruiting bodies visible to the naked eye.
Sordariomycetes is a class of fungi in the subdivision Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota), consisting of 28 orders, 90 families, 1344 genera. Sordariomycetes is from the Latin sordes (filth) because some species grow in animal feces, though growth habits vary widely across the class.
Neolecta is a genus of ascomycetous fungi that have fruiting bodies in the shape of unbranched to lobed bright yellowish, orangish to pale yellow-green colored, club-shaped, smooth, fleshy columns up to about 7 cm tall. The species share the English designation "Earth tongues" along with some better-known fungi with a similar general form, but in fact they are only distantly related.
Helotiales is an order of the class Leotiomycetes within the division Ascomycota. According to a 2008 estimate, the order contains 10 families, 501 genera, and 3881 species.
Diaporthales is an order of sac fungi.
The Pyronemataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pezizales. It is the largest family of the Pezizales, encompassing 75 genera and approximately 500 species. Recent phylogenetic analyses does not support the prior classifications of this family, and suggest that the family is not monophyletic as it is currently circumscribed.
The Melaspileaceae are a family of lichenized, lichenicolous and saprobic fungi within Ascomycota. They have been poorly understood for a long time and its taxonomic position has been unclear because of lacking molecular data,. The family was previously included in Arthoniales of the class Arthoniomycetes but recent phylogenetic analyses supports it to belong in Eremithallales of the class Dothideomycetes.
The Helotiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Helotiales. The distribution of species in the family are widespread, and typically found in tropical areas. There are 117 genera and 826 species in the family.
Bimuria is a genus of fungi in the family Melanommataceae; according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement in this family is uncertain.
The Ascoideaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales. A monotypic taxon, it contains the single genus Ascoidea. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, and typically grow in beetle galleries in dead wood.
The Parmulariaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes.
The Asterinaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes.
The Epigloeaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty. It contains the single genus Epigloea.
The Microcaliciaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty. It contains the single genus Microcalicium.
Phylloporina is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the phylum is unknown, and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any class, order, or family.
The Rhytismataceae are a family of fungi in the Rhytismatales order. It contains 55 genera and 728 species.
The Lahmiales are an order of fungi in the Ascomycota, or sac fungi. The order has not been assigned to any class. The taxon is monotypic and contains a single family, the Lahmiaceae, which in turn contains the single genus Lahmia.
The Vezdaeaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Lecanoromycetes. Its relationship to other taxa in the Lecanoromycetes is not well understood, so it is considered to be incertae sedis with respect to ordinal placement. The family is monotypic, and contains the single genus Vezdaea.
