The Cantharellales are an
Thanatephorus/Rhizoctonia
.
Taxonomy
The order was originally proposed in 1926 by German
basidia (basidia with nuclear spindles arranged longitudinally). On this basis, he included three families within the Cantharellales: the Cantharellaceae (including the Hydnaceae), the Clavulinaceae, and the Exobasidiaceae.[1] The last group are now placed within the Exobasidiales.[2]
By 1995, the order had been amended (based on micromorphological research) to include not only the
Craterellaceae, Hydnaceae, Physalacriaceae, Pterulaceae, Scutigeraceae, Sparassidaceae, and Typhulaceae.[3]
Current status
Habitat and distribution
Most fungi within the order are
saprotrophs of fallen wood and leaf litter.[7] Species in the Ceratobasidiaceae are also saprotrophs, but some are capable of becoming facultative plant pathogens. Species in the Tulasnellaceae are saprotrophic, but are also associated with orchid mycorrhiza, as are some species in the Ceratobasidiaceae.[8] Distribution is cosmopolitan
