Eremascus is a genus in the fungal family Eremascaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by Eduard Eidam in 1883.[2] Eremascus is thought to be a basal fungus, from which ascomycetous yeasts formed.[3] Taxa have a widespread distribution, and grow saprobically, especially on substrates with low water content.[4]
Morphology
[edit]Species of Eremascus produce no arthrospores or conidia. There are generally eight spores produced in each ascus.[3]
