Familiar examples of sac fungi include morels, truffles, brewers' and bakers' yeast, dead man's fingers, and cup fungi. The fungal symbionts in the majority of lichens (loosely termed "ascolichens") such as Cladonia belong to the Ascomycota. Ascomycota is a monophyletic group (containing all of the descendants of a common ancestor).
Hypocreomycetidae is a subclass of sac fungi. [1]It is a highly diverse group of fungi with species from various habitats. This subclass has been reported as pathogenic, endophytic, parasitic, saprobic, fungicolous, lichenicolous, algicolous, coprophilous (animal dung) and insect fungi from aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
In the year 2019, 1,882 new species of fungi were described, and it was estimated that more than 90% of fungi remain unknown. [8] The following year, 2,905 new species were described—the highest annual record of new fungus names. [51] In mycology, species have historically been distinguished by a variety of methods and concepts.
The first is that cells of opposite mating type are present together in the same ascus, the sac that contains the cells directly produced by a single meiosis, and these cells can mate with each other. The second reason is that haploid cells of one mating type, upon cell division, often produce cells of the opposite mating type with which they ...

Cordyceps / ˈ k ɔːr d ɪ s ɛ p s / is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes over 260 species worldwide, many of which are parasitic. Diverse variants of cordyceps have had more than 1,500 years of use in Chinese medicine . [ 1 ]
[2] In addition, the recent [when?] changes in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants [17] [18] have had a major impact on the classification of fungi, including Saccharomycotina. The changes imply that a fungus can only bear one correct name, i.e. separate names for anamorphs and teleomorphs are no longer
Saccharomycetes belongs to the Ascomycota division of the kingdom Fungi.It is the only class in the subdivision Saccharomycotina, the budding yeasts.Saccharomycetes contains a single order, Saccharomycetales.
