“…The Ascosphaera species were placed with class Plectomycetes, based on the cleistothecial type of the fruiting bodies (ascomata) (Skou, 1972). This traditional system of classification has been criticized due to its artificial nature because some phenotypic characteristics are unstable and dependent on environmental conditions (Cain, 1972;Malloch, 1981). Considering that in many cases some characters of ascoma can converge, Hawksworth et al (1983) proposed to classify according to order in phylum Ascomycota without a class-level organization.…”

“…One example is the term "plectomycete," which has been defined as a closed ascoma (162) and also as scattered asci within the ascomal cavity (317). Another problem inherent in traditional classifications is the convergence of fruiting bodies (77,320). It has been demonstrated that species which normally produce flask-shaped fruiting bodies can be induced to form closed fruiting bodies under certain environmental conditions (563).…”

SUMMARY Fungal infections, especially those caused by opportunistic species, have become substantially more common in recent decades. Numerous species cause human infections, and several new human pathogens are discovered yearly. This situation has created an increasing interest in fungal taxonomy and has led to the development of new methods and approaches to fungal biosystematics which have promoted important practical advances in identification procedures. However, the significance of some data provided by the new approaches is still unclear, and results drawn from such studies may even increase nomenclatural confusion. Analyses of rRNA and rDNA sequences constitute an important complement of the morphological criteria needed to allow clinical fungi to be more easily identified and placed on a single phylogenetic tree. Most of the pathogenic fungi so far described belong to the kingdom Fungi; two belong to the kingdom Chromista. Within the Fungi, they are distributed in three phyla and in 15 orders (Pneumocystidales, Saccharomycetales, Dothideales, Sordariales, Onygenales, Eurotiales, Hypocreales, Ophiostomatales, Microascales, Tremellales, Poriales, Stereales, Agaricales, Schizophyllales, and Ustilaginales).

“…This monotypic genus is differentiated from Monascus by the sessile cleistothecia, consistently 2-spored asci, plano-convex (D-shaped) ascospores, and its extremely xerophilic nature. The genus was removed from the Monascaceae and included in the Pyronemataceae Corda (Pezizales) by Malloch (1981) because of the sessile cleistothecia. Further information on this remarkable fungus is given by Pitt and Hocking (1982).…”

The taxonomy of Monascus van Tieghem (Ascomycotina) is revised as a result of an investigation of cultural and microscopic characters of type and numerous other isolates. Three species are recognized: M. pilosus K. Sato ex D. Hawksw. & Pitt sp. nov.: M, purpureus Went; M. ruber van Tieghem. Keys to the species, comprehensive descriptions and lists of material studied are presented. These fungi are of special interest because of their use in the production of a range of oriental fermented foods.
