Ubiasertaceae

Ubiasertaceae is a proposed family of fungi within the order Agaricales. While not yet formally established or widely accepted, the concept has emerged from phylogenetic studies aiming to resolve evolutionary relationships among certain mushroom-forming fungi. The name Ubiasertaceae is derived from a proposed type genus, Ubiaserta, which would encompass species exhibiting specific morphological and genetic characteristics.

Research into this potential family suggests it may include species currently classified in other families, such as the Mycenaceae or Marasmiaceae. The rationale for creating a new family like Ubiasertaceae stems from molecular data that indicates a distinct evolutionary lineage separate from existing recognized groups. Further research and consensus among mycologists are needed to formally define and validate this taxonomic classification. Its ecological roles and specific characteristics would depend on the species ultimately included within the family.
