Eremascus
Genus of fungi / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eremascus is the sole genus in the fungal family Eremascaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Eduard Eidam in 1883,[1] while the family was circumscribed by Adolf Engler and E. Gilg in 1924.[2] Eremascus is thought to be a basal fungus, from which ascomycetous yeasts formed.[3] Taxa have a widespread distribution, and grow saprobically, especially on substrates with low water content.[4]
