Trichomaris

Trichomaris is a genus of fungi in the family Halosphaeriaceae.

[1] This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Trichomaris invadens.

[2] This fungus causes a disease of tanner crabs.

It forms a layer of dark hyphae on the exoskeleton of affected hosts.

Perithecia form atop this layer and produce ascospores with distinctive gelatinous appendages.
