Description
Asellariaceae are microscopic fungi that live exclusively in the guts of aquatic crustaceans. They have a unique structure with a main body and hair-like filaments. These fungi do not produce typical fruiting bodies. Instead, they release spores directly into the host's digestive tract. Asellariaceae have a symbiotic relationship with their hosts, though the exact nature of this relationship is not fully understood.
