Huntiella moniliformis is a saprobic fungal species that was previously accommodated in the Ceratocystis genus.
Due to morphological, molecular and ecological differences, it was recently allocated to the newly described Huntiella genus.
Species belonging to this genus typically do not cause disease on plants with the exception of H. bhutanensis.
Unlike its close relatives that are heterothallic, H. moniliformis exhibits a homothallic sexual strategy.
Such species are able to produce sexual progeny even in the absence of typically essential mating genes.
