The Ustilaginomycetes are a group of the smut fungi (Ustilaginomycotina). All representatives are parasites on flowering plants .

Features and way of life

The Ustilaginomycetes are dimorphic, so they alternate with yeast-like and mycelial stages. They form teliospores and do not throw away their basidiospores .

The Ustilaginomycetes live parasitically on Bedecktsamern , mainly representatives of the sweet and sour grasses . The zone of interaction with the host is large.

Systematics

As a monophyletic group, the Ustilaginomycetes form one of the two classes of smut fungi . The Ustilaginomycetes themselves are divided into two orders:

Order Urocystales , predominantly form holobasidia
Procedure ustilaginales (Ustilaginales) form, predominantly Phragmobasidien

The family Glomosporiaceae cannot yet be assigned to any order.
