Stykowes

Stykowes is a genus of fungi belonging to the order Hypocreales. Species within this genus are typically found on decaying wood and plant debris, playing a role in decomposition. They are characterized by their microscopic features, particularly the structure of their ascospores and conidia, which are used for classification. Morphologically, many stykowes species produce small, often inconspicuous fruiting bodies. The exact distribution and ecological significance of many stykowes species are still areas of ongoing research. Some species may have specific host associations or environmental preferences. The genus is named after the Polish mycologist Stanisław Styko. Further study is needed to fully understand the biodiversity and ecological roles of this fungal group.
