The Spiculogloeomycetes are a class of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina of the Basidiomycota. [1] The class consists of a single order, the Spiculogloeales, together with an additional, unassigned genus, Meniscomyces . [3] Many species are currently known only from their yeast states. Species in the genus Spiculogloea form hyphal states that produce auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia and are parasitic on other fungi. [2]

Taxonomy

The genus Spiculogloea was described in 1996 and provisionally placed in the order Platygloeales within the former class Heterobasidiomycetes. [4]

In 2004, molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicated that an unnamed Spiculogloea species clustered together with an equally unnamed Mycogloea species, forming a well-supported clade [5] that was later referred to as the new order Spiculogloeales. [2] Together with the Agaricostilbales, the Spiculogloeales were referred to as the class Agaricostilbomycetes. [2] [6]

A subsequent molecular study based upon seven genes indicated that the Spiculogloeales form a clade with the Mixiomycetes, rather than being most closely related to the Agaricostilbales. [1] Based on this finding, the class Spiculogloeomycetes was proposed to accommodate Spiculogloea and its allies. [1]
