Tremellomycetes

Chionasterales Cystofilobasidiales Filobasidiales Holtermanniales Tremellales Trichosporonales The Tremellomycetes are a class of dimorphic fungi in the Agaricomycotina.

Some species have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies) or (microscopically) a sacculate parenthesome.

[2][3] Tremellomycetes include yeasts, dimorphic taxa, and species that form complex fruiting bodies.

[4] Tremellomycetes include some fungi that are human and animal pathogens in the genera Cryptococcus, Naganishia, Papiliotrema, and Trichosporon and some fungi that are cultivated for food in the genera Tremella and Naematelia.

[6] Swann and Taylor in their revision in 1995 had two classes in the Hymenomycetes; Hymenomycetidae (containing non-yeast fungi, mushrooms and puffballs) and Tremellomycetidae (holding the rest).
