Species | |
Eremascus is the sole genus in the fungal family Eremascaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Eduard Eidam in 1883, [1] while the family was circumscribed by Adolf Engler and E. Gilg in 1924. [2] Eremascus is thought to be a basal fungus, from which ascomycetous yeasts formed. [3] Taxa have a widespread distribution, and grow saprobically, especially on substrates with low water content. [4]
Species of Eremascus produce no arthrospores or conidia. There are generally eight spores produced in each ascus. [3]
