Schizothyriaceae (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Schizothyriaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. Dothideomycetes is the largest and most diverse class of ascomycete fungi. It comprises 11 orders 90 families, 1300 genera and over 19,000 known species. Traditionally, most of its members were included in the loculoascomycetes, which is not part of the currently accepted classification. This indicates that several traditional morphological features in the class are not unique and DNA sequence comparisons are important to define the class.
