Eremascus is the sole genus in the fungal family Eremascaceae. The genus was described by Eduard Eidam in 1883,[1] while the family was circumscribed by Adolf Engler and E. Gilg in 1924.[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

Species of Eremascus produce no arthrospores or conidia. There are generally eight spores produced in each ascus.[3]
