S. australiana S. communis S. evanescens S. herbamans S. inclusa S. indica S. interna S. invisibilis S. lyrica S. occidentalis S. orliensis S. rarihospitum S. restingae S. sacchari S. secunda S. sigmaspora S. talbotii S. vermifera S. warcupii S. whamiae S. williamsii Piriformospora Serendipita is a genus in the family Serendipitaceae.
[1] There is a large molecular diversity, but the absence of macroscopic fruiting bodies and limited number of micromorphological traits limit the characterization of species within this genus.
[3] In 2016, this genus was moved into its own family, Serendipitaceae, based on molecular phylogeny.
[2] Notable species: Serendipita produce thin, sparsely branched hyphae that are either clamped or unclamped.
Their basidia are formed in single or small clusters, commonly from one sub-basidial cell.
