Habitat and distribution

The order is

saprotrophs, most of them wood-rotters, typically found on dead attached branches. Some species of Laetisaria are facultative or obligate parasites of grasses; some species of Erythricium and Waitea are also facultative plant parasites; and some species of Erythricium. Laetisaria, and Marchandiomyces are parasites of lichens.[5]
