In-Depth Information
Excipulaceae Pycnidia discoid or cupulate.
Sporobolomycetaceae False yeasts. Reproduc-
tion by budding and germination by repetition;
probably anamorph species of the Tremellales, in
the Basidiomycetes.
Moniliaceae Hyphae and spores hyaline or
brightly colored; conidiophores not grouped
together.
Dematiaceae Same as Moniliaceae but hyphae
or conidia, or both, brownish to black.
Stilbaceae (Stilbellaceae) Conidiophores united
into a coremium or synnema, an upright group of
hyphae.
Tuberculariaceae Hyphae and conidiophores
combined in a sporodochium, a tight, spore-
bearing mass.
Melanconiales
Conidia borne in definitely circumscribed acervuli;
erumpent (breaking through the substratum).
Melanconiaceae Conidia
are
slime-spores;
cause anthracnose diseases.
Moniliales
Conidiophores (specialized hyphae bearing
conidia) superficial, entirely free or bound in
tufts or in cushionlike masses (sporodochia).
Pseudosaccharomycetaceae (Cryptococcaceae)
False yeasts. Hyphae scanty or nearly lacking; repro-
duction by budding but not germinating by repetition.
