Description

2.2.6 Myrmecridiales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota)

The order Myrmecridiales (Sordariomycetes) includes one salt marsh fungus Myrmecridium schulzeri, an asexual morph with subhyaline, obovoid or fusiform, 1-celled, conidia that can be distinguished from Ramichloridium by having hyaline mycelium, pale brown to hyaline conidiogenous cells with pimple-like denticles (Arzanlou et al. 2007). Myrmecridium schulzeri is recorded for the first time as saprobic on Distichlis spicata (saltgrass) in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Calabon et al. 2021; ElÍades et al. 2007).
