Tremellomycetes
The Tremellomycetes are a class of dimorphic fungi in the Agaricomycotina. Some species have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies) or (microscopically) a sacculate parenthesome. There are six orders, 17 families, and 39 genera in the Tremellomycetes. Tremellomycetes include yeasts, dimorphic taxa, and species that form complex fruiting bodies. Tremellomycetes include some fungi that are human and animal pathogens in the genera '' Cryptococcus'', '' Naganishia'', '' Papiliotrema'', and '' Trichosporon'' and some fungi that are cultivated for food in the genera '' Tremella'' and '' Naematelia''. ''Tremellomycetidae'' is a class of lichen in the Basidiomycota Basidiomycota () is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi.

Agaricomycotina
Agaricomycotina is one of three subdivisions of the Basidiomycota (fungi bearing spores on basidia), and represents all of the fungi which form macroscopic fruiting bodies. Agaricomycotina contains over 30,000 species, divided into three classes: Tremellomycetes, Dacrymycetes, and Agaricomycetes. Around 98% of the species are in the class Agaricomycetes, including all the agarics (gilled mushrooms), bracket fungi, clavarioid fungi, corticioid fungi, and gasteroid fungi. Tremellomycetes contains many basidiomycete yeasts and some conspicuous jelly fungi. Dacrymycetes contains a further group of jelly fungi. These taxa are founded on molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, and supersede earlier morphology-based classifications. Agaricomycotina contains nearly one third of all described species of fungi. The class Bartheletiomycetes contains a single anomalous species of basidiomycete which grows on fallen leaves of ''Ginkgo biloba ''Ginkgo b ...

Tremellales
The Tremellales are an order of fungi in the class Tremellomycetes. The order contains both teleomorphic and anamorphic species, most of the latter being yeasts. All teleomorphic species in the Tremellales are parasites of other fungi, though the yeast states are widespread and not restricted to hosts. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous. The order currently comprises 11 families, containing around 250 valid species. Significant genera include '' Tremella'', one species of which is edible and commercially cultivated, and the yeast genus ''Cryptococcus'', several species of which are human pathogens. History The order Tremellales was created (as 'Tremellinae') by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 for fungi having gelatinous fruit bodies. it was amended in 1922 by English mycologist Carleton Rea to include all species, gelatinous or not, in which the basidia were "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid with vertical or diagonal septa).

Tremella
''Tremella'' is a genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Tremellaceae. All ''Tremella'' species are parasitism, parasites of other fungi and most produce anamorphic yeast states. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi". Over 100 species of ''Tremella'' (in its wide sense) are currently recognized worldwide. One species, ''Tremella fuciformis'', is commercially cultivated for food. Taxonomy History ''Tremella'' was one of the original genera created by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. The name comes from the Latin ''tremere'' meaning "to tremble". Linnaeus placed ''Tremella'' in the algae, including within it a variety of gelatinous growths, including seaweeds, cyanobacteria, and Mycetozoa, myxomycetes, as well as fungi. Subsequent authors added additional species to this mix, until Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, Persoon revised ''Tremella'' in 1794 and 1801, repositioning the ...

Papiliotrema
''Papiliotrema'' is a genus of fungi in the family Rhynchogastremaceae. Filamentous states, where known, form septate basidia with haustorial cells indicating they are parasites of other fungi. Most species are currently known only from their yeast Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom (biology), kingdom. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and at least 1,500 species are currently recognized. They are est ... states.

Trichosporon
''Trichosporon'' is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Trichosporonaceae. All species of ''Trichosporon'' are yeasts with no known teleomorphs (sexual states). Most are typically isolated from soil, but several species occur as a natural part of the skin microbiota of humans and other animals. Proliferation of ''Trichosporon'' yeasts in the hair can lead to an unpleasant but non-serious condition known as white piedra. ''Trichosporon'' species can also cause severe opportunistic infections ( trichosporonosis) in immunocompromised individuals. Taxonomy The genus was first described by the German dermatologist Gustav Behrend in 1890, based on yeasts isolated from the hairs of a moustache where they were causing the condition known as "white piedra". Behrend called his new species '' Trichosporon ovoides''. Friedrich Küchenmeister and Rabenhorst had, however, previously described a species in 1867 from the hairs of a wig. They thought that the organism was an alga and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Species are currently only known from their yeast states, most of which were formerly referred to the genus ''Cryptococcus ''Cryptococcus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Cryptococcaceae that includes both yeasts and filamentous species.

Naematelia
''Naematelia'' is a genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Naemateliaceae. All ''Naematelia'' species are parasitism, parasites of other fungi (''Stereum'' species) and produce anamorphic yeast states. When produced, basidiocarps (fruit bodies), are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi." Four species of ''Naematelia'' are currently recognized worldwide. One species, ''Naematelia aurantialba'', is commercially cultivated for food. Taxonomy History ''Naematelia'' was introduced in 1816 by Elias Magnus Fries for fungal fruit bodies with a gelatinous outer layer and a hard inner core, as in the type species ''Naematelia encephala''. Some mycologists subsequently used the name, while others considered ''Naematelia'' synonymous with ''Tremella'' since its basidia were ''Tremella''-like. In a 1961 paper, American mycologist Robert Joseph Bandoni, Robert Bandoni showed that the hard inner core of ''Naematelia encephala'' was composed largely of host tiss ...
