Curlevskiomycetes Tedersoo class. nov.

Type order.

Curlevskiales Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signatures in LSU D 2 (positions 549–559 in type species and 494–504 in S. cerevisiae tcagcgtcagc; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Curlevskiomycota, covering sequences EUK 1103826, EUK 1103868, EUK 1700102, EUK 1603989, EUK 1603990, KF 849654, EUK 1103703, EUK 1603986, EUK 1602443, EUK 1603988, EUK 1124409, and EUK 1630897 (Fig. 1).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Currently harbors Curlevskiales (ord. nov.) and potentially 1–2 order-level groups represented by sequences EUK 1103826 (forest soil in Puerto Rico) and EUK 1700078 (forest soil in Gabon).
