Vibrisseaceae

The Vibrisseaceae are a family of fungi in the order Helotiales. The family was circumscribed by mycologist Richard Korf in 1990 to include the genera Vibrissea, Chlorovibrissea, and Leucovibrissea.[1][2] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family encompasses 5 genera and 59 species.[3]

gollark: Excellent, guess I'll consider using that.
gollark: I was looking at it, but since I think the backend is closed source I currently just operate a somewhat accursed Wireguard network with routing.
