The Laboulbeniales are an order of the hose fungi . They live parasitically mainly on aquatic insects and other arthropods.

Features and way of life

The Laboulbeniales have reduced thalli . The structure of the askokarp is nevertheless strictly fixed. The parasites penetrate the insect's shell with a short foot.

The ascogons with trichogyne arise in a perithecium . The fertilization takes place through spermatia. These are formed in bottle-shaped spermatangia. Thin-walled asci are formed . The ascospores are one or two-celled. There are 10 to 20 days between infection of the host and maturity of the spores.

Systematics

The order includes around 1500 species, many of which are highly host-specific. There are four families:
