Fungi saprotrophici vel parasitici vel mycorrhizales; asci globosi in toto ascomate sparsi, raro hymenium
formantes; asci plerumque evanescentes, nonnumquam bitunicati. Ascosporae plerumque unicellulares,
lenticulares, nonnumquam globosae vel ellipsoideae. Ascomata, si formata, plerumque cleistothecialia vel
gymnothecialia, saepe textura stromatica circumdata. Structurae hamatheciales absentes. Gametangia
plerumque indistincta e glomere hyphali constantia. Fungi saepe laete colorati. Anamorphae variabiles,
seu phialidicae seu arthroconidiales.
Typus: Eurotium Link 1809.
Saprotrophic, parasitic and mycorrhizal. Ascomata, when present, usually
cleistothecial/gymnothecial, globose, often produced in surrounding stromatic tissue
and brightly coloured; hamathecial elements lacking; gametangia usually
undifferentiated and consisting of hyphal coils. Asci usually evanescent, sometimes
bitunicate, scattered throughout the ascoma, rarely from a hymenium. Ascospores
usually single-celled, lenticular, sometimes spherical or elliptical. Anamorphs variable,
including phialidic and arthroconidial forms.
This name was employed by Lutzoni et al. (2004) and Geiser et al. (2007), in the
same sense as the present classification, but without a formal diagnosis.
