alustasi

Alustasi is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Alustasiaceae. This genus was first described in 1989 by mycologist J. Walker. Species within Alustasi are typically found in soil or decaying plant matter in temperate regions. The fruiting bodies, when present, are generally small and inconspicuous. Morphological characteristics used for identification often include spore shape, size, and ornamentation, as well as the structure of the hyphal system. Genetic analysis has also played a significant role in the classification and understanding of Alustasi species. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate the ecological roles and diversity of this fungal genus.
