Alsomycetales
Alsomycetales is an order of fungi belonging to the phylum Ascomycota, characterized by its distinctive sexual reproduction structures known as asci. This group comprises primarily saprobic and parasitic species, with some members playing significant ecological and agricultural roles. The order is notable for its diverse morphological and physiological adaptations, including both free-living and symbiotic lifestyles.
Members of Alsomycetales are typically identified by their asci, which are sac-like structures that produce sexual
Ecologically, Alsomycetales species contribute to nutrient cycling by decomposing organic matter, particularly in wood and plant
Taxonomically, Alsomycetales was previously classified under the larger order Sordariales but was redefined based on molecular
