Tilkudaceae
Tilkudaceae is a family of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales. These fungi are typically found in soil and decaying plant matter. The family was first described in 2009, and its classification is based on molecular phylogenetic studies. Members of Tilkudaceae are characterized by their dark, ostiolate ascomata, which are often immersed in the substrate. The asci are typically cylindrical and bitunicate, and the ascospores are usually brown and septate.
Research into Tilkudaceae has primarily focused on its taxonomic placement and the identification of new species.
