Threatened species of Trichomycetes

Other Names:
Threatened species of gut-inhabiting fungi
Endangered species of fungi associated with arthropods
Background:

Trichomycetes are a cosmopolitan class of fungi that grow obligately in the guts of insects, crustaceans, and millipedes that live in freshwater, marine, or terrestrial habitats. Many Trichomycetes appear to be commensalistic, but under particular circumstances the gut fungi may provide their hosts with some essential organic nutrients.
