Description

Entomophthoromycetes is a class of fungi primarily known for their role as pathogens of insects and other arthropods. These fungi often infect their hosts, ultimately leading to the host's death, and play a crucial role in controlling insect populations in natural ecosystems. They can be found in various environments, including forests and fields. Entomophthoromycetes contribute to the balance of ecosystems by naturally managing insect numbers.
