Chytriomyces Confervae
''Chytriomyces'' is the type genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Chytriomycetaceae. The genus was described by mycologist John Sidney Karling in 1945. The family, created by Peter Letcher in 2011, contains species with a Group I-type zoospore, distinguishing it from Chytridiaceae members, which have a Group II-type zoospore. Taxonomy J. S. Karling circumscribed ''Chytriomyces'' in 1945 for the species ''C. hyalinus'' and ''C. aureus''. The genus was intended to include monocentric chytrids with operculate, apophysate, epibiotic zoosporangia that exhibited vesicular zoospore discharge. Another requirement was resting spores that function as prosporangia during germination. With time and the addition of species, the generic concept was altered to include species lacking one or more of these features. Karling was not clear as to which of his species was the type; ''C. hyalinus'' was later designated the type. With the use of molecular phylogenetics, it has been determined ...
