Pyronemataceae
The Pyronemataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pezizales. It is the largest family of the Pezizales, encompassing 75 genera and approximately 500 species. Phylogenetic analyses does not support the prior classifications of this family, and suggest that the family is not monophyletic as it is currently circumscribed. Morphology Members of the family are diverse in ascomatal or cleistothecial form. Individual taxa may be sessile (without a stipe) to shortly stipitate, cupulate (cup-shaped), discoid (disc-shaped), pulvinate (cushion-shaped), or with turbinate (turban-shaped) epigeous apothecia. Also, taxa may be sub- hypogeous to hypogeous with closed, folded, or solid ascomata. Apothecia may range in size from less than 1 mm up to in diameter, and may be brightly colored due to carotenoid pigments. Genera Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as vir ...

Chaetothiersia
''Chaetothiersia'' is a fungal genus in the family Pyronemataceae. It is monotypic, containing the single species ''Chaetothiersia vernalis'' collected from California. Description This species is characterized by having stiff brown hairs on the surface of the ectal excipulum, the outer layer of the apothecium. The ectal excipulum is thin, and made of roughly spherical to somewhat spherical/angular cells. Its ascospores are smooth, and do not contain oil droplets. Lookalikes Genera with species that bear a resemblance to ''C. vernalis'' include ''Geopora'', ''Humaria'', ''Trichophaea'', ''Trichophaeopsis'', ''Tricharina'', most of which are distinguishable only by examining microscopic characteristics. Etymology The etymology of the generic name is derived from the Greek language, Greek ''chaeto'', meaning hairy (a reference to both the external hairs on the cups and to Dr. Thiers' first name), and "thiersia", in honor of mycologist Harry Delbert Thiers, Harry Thiers, one ...

Anthracobia
''Anthracobia'' is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus was circumscribed by Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1885. ''Anthracobia'' is widely distributed in north temperate regions, and contains 15 species. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the genus as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic A polyphyletic group is an assemblage that includes organisms with mixed evolutionary origin but does not include their most recent common ancestor. The term is often applied to groups that share similar features known as Homoplasy, homoplasies ....

The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in temperate regions, and contains 66 species, many very similar in appearance and habitat and only separable by microscopic The microscopic scale () is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly.

Acervus
''Acervus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. They have cup-shaped fruitbodies that may be up to in diameter, with a bright yellow to orange-colored hymenium The hymenium is the tissue layer on the hymenophore of a fungal fruiting body where the cells develop into basidia or asci, which produce spores. In some species all of the cells of the hymenium develop into basidia or asci, while in oth .... Fruitbodies occur on soil, duff, and plant debris.

Pyronema
''Pyronema'' is a genus of cup fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. ''Pyronema'' are found fruiting exclusively on recently burned or heat-sterilized substrates. The fruiting bodies (apothecia) are light-pink to orange and disc or cushion shaped. Always growing in dense clusters, and often fusing together resulting in an amorphous mat-like appearance. Ascospores are simple, smooth, ellipsoid, colorless, and lack lipid droplets. When grown in a laboratory setting on agar plates, ''P. domesticum'' produces sclerotia, whereas ''P. omphalodes'' does not. ''P. domesticum'' tends to produce pink to orange apothecia and slightly larger spores, whereas ''P. omphalodes'' apothecia are orange to yellow-orange with slightly smaller spores. ''Pyronema'' are known to dominate the soil fungal community after fire, and ''P. domesticum'' has been shown to metabolize charcoal. ''P. omphalodes'' is synonymous with ''P. confluens'' and ''P. marianum''. ''Pyronema'' was first circumscribed as ''Peziza ...

Boudierella
''Boudierella'' is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The name ''Boudierella'' honours Jean Louis Émile Boudier (1828–1920), a pharmacist who lived in Montmorency, France.

Pezizales
The Pezizales are an order of the subphylum Pezizomycotina within the phylum Ascomycota. The order contains 16 families, 199 genera, and 1683 species. It contains a number of species of economic importance, such as morels, the black and white truffles, and the desert truffles. The Pezizales can be saprobic, mycorrhizal, or parasitic on plants. Species grow on soil, wood, leaves and dung. Soil-inhabiting species often fruit in habitats with a high pH and low content of organic matter, including disturbed ground. Most species occur in temperate regions or at high elevation. Several members of the Sarcoscyphaceae and Sarcosomataceae are common in tropical regions. Description Members of this order are characterized by asci that typically open by rupturing to form a terminal or eccentric lid or operculum. The ascomata are apothecia or are closed structures of various forms derived from apothecia. Apothecia range in size from less than a millimeter to approximately , and m ...
