Members typically produce their sexual spores in flask-shaped fruiting structures called perithecia. The class includes economically important genera such as Fusarium, a widespread cause of crop disease, and Neurospora, long used as a model organism in genetics research.FactsSordariomycetesConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsClassificationLiving or ExtinctWell-attestedYes 1Taxonomic RankWell-attestedClass 2SordariomycetesFilter Results14 entriesCommon GroupAllOther Fungi (1)Pathogenic And Parasitic Fungi (Human/Animal) (5)Rusts, Smuts And Plant Pathogens (7)Yeasts, Molds And Aspergilli (1)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Grassland (2)Salt Marsh (1)Tropical Rainforest (1)Conservation StatusAllNot Evaluated (7)Vulnerable (2)Everyday GroupAllOther Fungi (1)Pathogenic And Parasitic Fungi (Human/Animal) (5)Rusts, Smuts And Plant Pathogens (7)Yeasts, Molds And Aspergilli (1)DietAllDetritivore or Scavenger (1)Parasitic (13)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Marine (1)Terrestrial (14)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (5)Farmed or Commercially Raised (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (1)Source of Dye (1)Used in Traditional Medicine (3)Living or ExtinctAllYes (8)Where It LivesAllAustria (2)Belgium (4)Bhutan (2)Bosnia and Herzegovina (2)Brazil (2)Denmark (4)France (2)Georgia (1)Germany (3)Hainan (1)India (2)Ireland (2)Kazakhstan (1)Moldova (1)Nepal (1)Netherlands (2)North Macedonia (1)Norway (5)Poland (2)Portugal (2)Romania (2)Russia (1)Serbia (1)Slovakia (1)Slovenia (1)Sweden (4)Switzerland (1)Tunisia (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (5)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 14BeauveriaSordariomycetesCaterpillar FungusSordariomycetesChestnut Blight FungusSordariomycetesClaviceps PurpureaSordariomycetesCordycepsSordariomycetesCordyceps MilitarisSordariomycetesDead Man's FingersSordariomycetesDutch Elm Disease FungusSordariomycetesPanama Disease FungusSordariomycetesRice Blast FungusSordariomycetesTake-all FungusSordariomycetesTrichodermaSordariomycetesVerticillium Wilt FungusSordariomycetesZombie-ant FungusSordariomycetesConnectionsParent Taxon OfBeauveria, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: BeauveriaCaterpillar Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Cordycepstier 2Chestnut Blight Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Chestnut Blight FungusClaviceps Purpurea, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: ErgotCordyceps, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Cordycepstier 2Cordyceps Militaris, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Cordyceps MilitarisDead Man's Fingers, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Dead Man's FingersDutch Elm Disease Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Dutch Elm Disease FungusPanama Disease Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Panama Disease FungusRice Blast Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Rice Blast FungusTake-all Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Take-all FungusTrichoderma, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: TrichodermaVerticillium Wilt Fungus, Species Well-attested Source GBIF Backbone Taxonomy: VerticilliumZombie-ant Fungus, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Zombie-ant FungusSources1.
