Eurotiomycetes

Eurotiomycetes are actually a class of fungi, characterized mainly by their ascomycete lineage which forms fruiting bodies known as cleistothecia. These enclosed structures help protect their spores, enhancing survival in varying environments. Noteworthy for their adaptation to both extreme conditions and symbiotic relationships, they play crucial roles in ecosystems, often as decomposers or in partnership with other organisms.
