Abstract

In this chapter, we present an overview of the Tremellomycetes, a basal group in the Agaricomycotina that contains Cystofilobasidiales, Filobasidiales, Holtermanniales, Trichosporonales, and Tremellales, and some possibly related taxa (Bartheletia, Wallemia). Tremellomycetes comprise mostly dimorphic species, which have both a monokaryotic yeast stage and a dikaryotic filamentous stage. The majority of species that produce macroscopically visible, mostly gelatinous basidiomes belong to the Tremellales; some belong to the Holtermanniales (Holtermannia) or Filobasidiales (Syzygospora). Only a yeast stage is known for many Tremellomycetes, which has hampered a coherent phylogenetic classification. Micromorphology in the Tremellomycetes is diverse, with basidial types ranging from longitudinally septate to transversely or obliquely septate to holobasidiate. We review the state of knowledge of the morphology, ultrastructure, and ecology of Tremellomycetes and discuss their phylogenetic relationships, complemented by a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis, including most of the species for which sequence data are available.
