Myriangiales
fungi order
Quick Summary
The Myriangiales are an order of fungi belonging to the subclass Euascomycetes. These fungi are characterized by having a single ascus within each chamber of their well-developed, and often gelatinous, stroma. They are typically parasitic, found on fungi, insects, or as epiphytes on plant leaves and stems, predominantly in tropical or subtropical regions. The ascocarp, a fruiting body, is present in Myriangiales, with asci borne singly in locules arranged at various levels within a globose stroma.12
