Sporormia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae and part of the phylum Ascomycota. [1] It is morphologically distinct from other genera in this family due to the orientation of cylindrical ascospores contained in a gelatinous sheath within the asci of the fruitbody [2] . It is mostly known for being coprophilous but known to utilize wood as a substrate as well [3] .

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".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sordariomycetes</span> Class of fungi

Sordariomycetes is a class of fungi in the subdivision Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota). It is the second-largest class of Ascomycota, with a worldwide distribution that mostly accommodates terrestrial based taxa, although several can also be found in aquatic habitats. Some are phytopathogens that can cause leaf, stem, and root diseases in a wide variety of hosts, while other genera can cause diseases in arthropods and mammals.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Amphisphaeriaceae</span> Family of fungi

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.

Sporormiella is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae. Species of the genus are obligately coprophilous, occurring on the dung of domestic livestock as well as wild herbivores. The genus is distributed across boreal and temperate regions of the world, and contains about 80 species. The spores have characteristic features–they are dark brown, septate and have a pronounced sigmoid germination pore, which enables their use in paleoecology as a proxy or indicator for the abundance of grazing mammals.

Pseudonitschkia is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Pseudonitschkia parmotrematis. This was first found growing on rock in Venezuela and the holotype specimen is in the collection of the Natural History Museum, London.

Semidelitschia is a genus of coprophilous fungi in the family Delitschiaceae that contains three species. Semidelitschia was circumscribed in 1969 by mycologists Roy Cain and Robena Luck-Allen to contain the type species, Semidelitschia agasmaticaCain & Luck-Allen, found in North America. Semidelitschia tetrasporaJ.H. Mirza & S.M. Khan and Semidelitschia nanostellataA.E. Bell & Mahoney were added to the genus in 1979 and 2001, respectively. The genus is characterized by species with one-celled, dark ascospores, which distinguishes it from the related genus Delitschia (Delitschiaceae), which have two-celled ascospores.

Acarosporina is a genus of lichenized fungi within the family Stictidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1977 and contains about four species.

Polytolypa is a monotypic genus of fungus containing the single species Polytolypa hystricis. First classified in the Onygenaceae family, as of 2008 it is considered to be in the Ajellomycetaceae, although there is still uncertainty as to its phylogenetic relationships with other similar genera. This species is only known from a single specimen derived in the laboratory from a specimen of dung of the North American porcupine, Erethizon dorsatum, collected in Ontario, Canada. Polytolypa hystricis contains bioactive compounds that have antifungal activity.
