Cystofilobasidiales

The Cystofilobasidiales are an order of fungi in the class Tremellomycetes of the Basidiomycota. They usually exhibit a life phase of free-living yeasts. Meiotic taxa are heterothallic or selfsporulating. They form dikaryote teliospores, from which the unicellular basidia (if present) are formed. The hyphae usually have dolipore septa without a parenthesome, and their cell walls contain xylose. Cystofilobasidium is the type genus.[1] The order contains one family (the Cystofilobasidiaceae) with nine genera and 20 species.[2]
