Description
Asellaria are microscopic fungi that live exclusively in the guts of certain freshwater crustaceans. They have a unique branching structure and attach to the host's intestinal lining. These fungi play a role in digestion and nutrient cycling within their host's ecosystem. They are challenging to study due to their tiny size and specific habitat requirements.
