The Sordariomycetes are a class of fungi in the subdivision Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota), consisting of 15 orders, 64 families, 1119 genera, and 10564 species.[1] Sordariomycetes generally produce their asci in perithecial fruiting bodies. Sordariomycetes are also known as Pyrenomycetes for their nature of appearing after a fire passes through the forest. Sordariomycetes possesses great variability in morphology, growth form and habitat. Except having perithecial (flask-shaped) fruiting bodies, ascomata can be less frequently cleistothecial (like in the genera Anixiella, Apodus, Boothiella, Thielavia, Zopfiella)[2][3], fruiting bodies may be solitary or gregarious, superficial or immersed within stromata or tissues of the substrates and can be light to bright or black. Members of this group can grow in soil, dung, leaf litter, and decaying wood as decomposers, as well as being fungal parasites, and insect, human and plant pathogens.[4][5][6] [edit] Genera incertae sedisThe following 108 genera within the Sordariomycetes have an uncertain taxonomic placement (incertae sedis), according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota. A question mark preceding the genus name means that the placement of that genus within this order is uncertain.[7] Abyssomyces — Acerbiella — Acrospermoides — Ameromassaria — Amphisphaerellula — Amphisphaerina — Amphorulopsis — Amylis — Anthostomaria — Anthostomellina — Apharia — Apodothina — Apogaeumannomyces — Aquadulciospora — Aquamarina — Aropsiclus — Ascorhiza — Ascoyunnania — Assoa — Aulospora — Azbukinia — Bactrosphaeria — Barrina — Biporispora — Bombardiastrum — Brenesiella — Byrsomyces — Byssotheciella — Caleutypa — Calosphaeriopsis — Caproniella — Chaetoamphisphaeria — Ciliofusospora — Clypeoceriospora — Clypeosphaerulina — Cryptoascus — Cryptomycina — Cryptovalsa — Cucurbitopsis — Curvatispora — Dasysphaeria — Delpinoëlla — Diacrochordon — Dontuzia — Dryosphaera — Endoxylina — Esfandiariomyces — Frondisphaera — Glabrotheca — Heliastrum — Hyaloderma — Hydronectria — Hypotrachynicola — Iraniella — Khuskia — Konenia — Kravtzevia — Kurssanovia — Lecythium — Leptosacca — Leptosphaerella — Leptosporina — Lyonella — Mangrovispora — Melomastia — Microcyclephaeria — Mirannulata — Monosporascus — ?Naumovela — ?Neocryptospora — Neolamya — Neothyridaria — Oceanitis — Ophiomassaria — Ornatispora — Pareutypella — Phomatospora — Phyllocelis — Plectosphaerella — Pleocryptospora — Pleosphaeria — Pontogeneia — Porodiscus — Protocucurbitaria — Pulvinaria — Pumilus — Rehmiomycella — Rhamphosphaeria — Rhizophila — Rimaconus — Rhopographella — Rhynchosphaeria — Rivulicola — Romellina — Saccardoëlla — Sarcopyrenia — Sartorya — Scharifia — Scoliocarpon — Scotiosphaeria — Servaziella — Sporoctomorpha — Stearophora — Stegophorella — Stellosetifera — Stomatogenella — Strickeria — Sungaiicola — Synsphaeria — Tamsiniella — Thelidiella — Thyridella — Thyrotheca — Trichospermella — Trichosphaeropsis — Tunstallia — Vleugelia — Zignoina [edit] References
