Chytridiomycetes ( /kɪˌtrɪdioʊmaɪˈsiːtiːz, -ˈsiːts/ [2]) is a class of fungi. Members are found in soil, fresh water, and saline estuaries. They are first known from the Rhynie chert. [3] It has recently been redefined to exclude the taxa Neocallimastigomycota and Monoblepharidomycetes, which are now a phylum and a sister- class respectively. [4]
Chytridiomycetes is the major class of the phylum Chytridiomycota, [5] which contains a number of parasitic species. At least two species in this class are known to infect a number of amphibian species. [6]
