Spelling
There is some confusion as to the proper spelling of this taxon. The Index Fungorum spells it Chrysothricaceae, while the Outline of Ascomycota - 2007 spells it Chrysotrichaceae. Both spellings are commonly encountered in the literature. However, the family was originally described by Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1907,[2] and he spelled it Chrysothricaceae, so that is the proper spelling.

gollark: The trouble is that offensiveness is highly subjective.
gollark: What's wrong with "the time of the month" apart from sounding a bit weird?
gollark: What's a "CL"?
gollark: I *do* think that talking about controversial topics and not avoiding them is important, but a chat channel for an online game is probably the wrong place.
