The Phaeotrichaceae are a family of fungi previously considered to be in the order Pleosporales, but now excluded. Taxa have a widespread distribution and are saprobic, on herbivore dung.

The Pseudeurotiaceae are a family of fungi in the division Ascomycota. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty (incertae sedis).

The Eremomycetaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes.

Microthecium levitum is a species of fungus in the family Ceratostomataceae. It was formally described in 1969 by Shun-ichi Udagawa and Roy F. Cain from a culture isolated from soil in Tokyo, Japan. It produces minute, nearly spherical perithecia (sexual fruiting bodies) that stay closed (non-ostiolate) and are usually about 110–240 μm across. Because the wall is thin and semi-transparent, the developing dark spore mass is visible through it. Inside, the 8-spored sacs (asci) are short-lived and break down at maturity, releasing the spores into the cavity as a black, spherical clump about

Semidelitschia is a genus of coprophilous fungi in the family Delitschiaceae that contains three species. Semidelitschia was circumscribed in 1969 by mycologists Roy Cain and Robena Luck-Allen to contain the type species, Semidelitschia agasmatica Cain & Luck-Allen, found in North America. Semidelitschia tetraspora J.H. Mirza & S.M. Khan (found in Pakistan) and Semidelitschia nanostellata A.E. Bell & Mahoney (from Australia) were added to the genus in 1979 and 2001, respectively. The genus is characterized by species with one-celled, dark ascospores, which distinguishes it from the related

Coniochaeta tetraspora is a species of fungus in the family Coniochaetaceae. It was first isolated from forest soil in Queensland, Australia, and has since been recorded from the Galápagos Islands, Spain, and California. The species exhibits a distinctive pattern of ascospore development: eight spores initially form within each spore sac, but four consistently abort, leaving only four to mature. In culture, colonies are thin and whitish, later becoming pinkish as asexual spores accumulate, and the dark, pear-shaped fruiting bodies bear short spiny hairs. The fungus is self-fertile, meaning a
