These fungi play crucial roles in plant reproduction, such as pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient transport.

Gendrespirura 🔍

Gendrespirura is a genus of fungi in the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as the "gardeners' spore" or "spore yeast". These yeasts produce small, round spores that can be dispersed by wind and water. They are found throughout the world, from tropical forests to arid deserts.

Menemerus 🔍

Menemerus is a genus of fungi that belongs to the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as lichenophytes. These organisms are characterized by their spore-producing cells, which are produced within the fungal mycelium and are attached to the surface of the fungus. Menemerus species produce spores that can be dispersed through wind or water.

Lecythidaceaeind 🔍

Lecythidaceae, also known as the lichenoid family, is a diverse group of flowering plants with over 300 species that are native to North America and Europe. These plants are characterized by their highly specialized leafs, which are covered in a thick layer of lichens, an unusual and fascinating adaptation for their environment.

Bischofieae 🔍

Bischofieae are a group of fungi that belong to the family Lecythidaceae and are known for their ability to produce a variety of compounds, including alkaloids, polysaccharides, and tannins. These fungi are characterized by their long, slender stipe-like structures, which they use for storage and transportation.

Peploviricota 🔍

Peploviricota is a genus of fungi in the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as the grapevine fungus or the grapevine lichen. These fungi produce spores that are dispersed by wind and can be found on various types of plants including grapes, apples, and other trees. They thrive in humid environments and are important for the reproduction and distribution of certain plant species.

Leptacrydium 🔍

Leptacrydium is a genus of plants in the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as lepto- or "leptocric" plants. These plants are characterized by their unique appearance and function, often used for medicinal purposes. They are also known for their role in the distribution of various species of fungi and insects.

Clypeosphaerella 🔍

Clypeosphaerella is a genus of fungi that belong to the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as the lichen fungi or fungus-like fungi. They are characterized by their elongated, branching stipe and their ability to form a lichen-like structure on other surfaces such as plants or bark.

Infundibulicybe 🔍

Infundibulicybe is a genus of fungi in the family Lecythidaceae, commonly known as the brownish-black fungi. They are found primarily on trees and shrubs in temperate regions, often associated with soil moisture or moisture-related conditions. The term "infundibulicybe" refers to these brownish-black fungi that can be found on various types of trees, including some species that have been known to cause diseases in humans.
