The Lulworthiales are an order of the ashes . They break down wood and other vegetable tissue from marsh plants in marine locations and estuaries.
features
The species form dark fruiting bodies with an opening (ostiolum). There is no interascal tissue (between the individual asci ), at least during development there is thin-walled pseudoparenchyma in the center . The asci are thin-walled and open early. The ascospores are thread-like and usually have mucous apical chambers or appendages.
Only two anamorphs are known, both of which belong to the hyphomycetes .
Systematics
The species of this order were initially assigned to the Halosphaeriales, but form a separate group within the Sordariomycetes. The following families are included in the order (with selected genera and species):
-
Lulworthiaceae with six genera
- Haloguignardia : colonizes algae
- Kohlmeyeriella
- Lindra
- Lulwoana
- Lulwoidea
- Lulworthia
- Spathulosporaceae with a single genus
- Spathulospora : They are obligatory parasites on red algae . The genus is placed in this order on the basis of DNA sequence comparisons. Like the other Lulworthiales, they have apical mucous chambers. In contrast to these, they have sterile hair in the fruiting bodies, antheridia and trichogyne.
