Cantoromastigales Tedersoo ord. nov.

Type family.

Cantoromastigaceae Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on a diagnostic nucleotide signature in the LSU 5 ’ end (positions – 2–8 in the type species and S. cerevisiae acgtggtctc or atatggtctc; no mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Cantoromastigomycetes, covering sequences EUK 1152054, EUK 1103194, EUK 1216883, EUK 1124338, EUK 1103697, EUK 1216882, EUK 1124339, EUK 1124340, KU 359437, EUK 1216885, EUK 1137900, and EUK 1216886 (Fig. 1).
