Ancylistaceae

[9] In Ancylistes, who are parasites of desmids (algae form), the hyphae grow toward the ends of the host.

As the hyphae grow, branches that follow the groves between plates in the chloroplast are produced.

[3] Like other members of Entomophthorales, conidia are forcibly discharged, which occurs through papillar eversion.

[3] Sexual reproduction results in the formation of a zygospore that functions as a resting spore.

The most well known member is Conidiobolus coronatus, which is typically found in soils and parasitizing termites and aphids but has been known to infect mammals.
