Дерматеевые - Dermateaceae 6/22/14—8/30/15

Dermateaceae is a family of fungi within the order Helotiales of the Ascomycota phylum. The family contains several genera of saprotrophic fungi that are commonly found growing on decaying plant material such as leaves, twigs, and fallen wood. The fruiting bodies of Dermateaceae fungi are typically small and cup-shaped, with a smooth or slightly rough surface. The spores are produced in the asci contained within the fruiting bodies and are dispersed by wind or other means. The taxonomy and phylogeny of the Dermateaceae family are still not well understood, and further research is needed to fully characterize this group of fungi. Studies have shown that some species within this family may have potential applications in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research due to their unique secondary metabolites. Dermateaceae fungi play an essential role in decomposing organic matter and contributing to nutrient cycling within ecosystems. They are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. In summary, Dermateaceae is a family of fungi containing several genera of saprotrophic fungi commonly found growing on decaying plant material. Further research is needed to fully understand the taxonomy and potential applications of this family of fungi. Dermateaceae fungi play an essential role in decomposing organic matter and contributing to nutrient cycling within ecosystems.
