Densosporaceae Desirò, M. E. Sm., Bidartondo, Trappe & Bonito, emend. Tedersoo

Type genus.

Densospora McGee.

Description.

Phylogenetic diagnosis as in Desiro et al. (2017), but includes a more limited phylogenetic group - the least inclusive clade comprised of Densospora spp. (accessions JF 414167 and UDB 28692), Sphaerocreas pubescens (accession LC 107618) and accession EUK 1601029 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Based on SSU phylogeny (Suppl. material 4), one or both of the genera Densospora and Sphaerocreas are paraphyletic, and their relationships require further research. Most species in both genera remain to be sequenced, including D. tubiformis (P. A. Tandy) McGee - the type species of Densospora .
