Mollisiaceae Rehm |
Mollisiaceae is a family of fungi in the order Helotiales. It contains almost 800 species in 17 genera with multiple genera remaining undescribed. [1] Saprotrophs and root endophytes are prominent in the family but it also includes endophytes of other plant tissues. [2] Due to a lack of accessible morphological features, the family has been difficult to study resulting in limited understanding of its taxonomy. Genetic studies suggest that the family comprises much overlooked biodiversity. [2]
