The Coniochaetaceae are a family of sac fungi that are in their own order Coniochaetales . The representatives grow on wood, dung or soil.
features
They usually have small perithecia as fruiting bodies . These arise on the surface or inside the substrate. Their shape is spherical to inverted pear-shaped. The opening of the perithecium (ostiolum) may be present or absent. The paraphyses are filamentous and septate. The asci are spherical, club-shaped or cylindrical, are unitunicate and have no apical ring. The ascospores are brown, ellipsoidal to disc-shaped, and unicellular; most of them have a germ slot. The relatively simple construction of the fruiting bodies easily leads to confusion with representatives of the Chaetosphaeriales or Sordariales .
The known anamorphs are placed in the genus Lecythophora , phialidic hyphomycetes .
Systematics
The family was placed in the Sordariales order until recently . However, it is a separate line of development and was introduced in 2004 by Huhndorfer et al. put in its own order. The family includes eight genera:
- Ascotrichella
- Barrina
- Coniochaeta
- Coniochaetidium
- Coniolaria
- Ephemeroascus
- Poroconiochaeta
- Synaptospora
