Description
Eocronartiaceae is an intriguing family of fungi known for its unique parasitic lifestyle. These fungi typically parasitize mosses, playing a specialized role within their ecosystems. A notable genus within this family is Eocronartium, which includes the species Eocronartium muscicola. This species is particularly interesting because it forms clavarioid, or club-shaped, basidiocarps (fruiting bodies) on mosses, which it parasitizes.
