Notes – Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. (2016) introduced Chordomyces based on the phylogenetic analyses of a combine ITS and LSU dataset for 12 alkaliphilic isolates. Two species, Chordomyces antarcticum and C. albus were introduced in the genus (Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. 2016, Giraldo et al. 2017b). Chordomyces is characterized by erect conidiophores, solitary or forming in synnemata. Conidiogenous cells are enteroblastic, mono- or polyphialidic, tapering towards the apex and often proliferating sympodially. Conidia are subglobose, limoniform, ellipsoidal to cylindrical, rounded at the apex, sometimes with protuberant hilum and1(‒2)-celled (Giraldo et al. 2017b).
Type species: Chordomyces antarcticus Bilanenko, Georgieva & Grum-Grzhim.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Chordomyces.
