Status

"Members of Laboulbeniales constitute an order of ascomycete fungi that are unusual in having obligate associations with living arthropods, and in lacking distinct mycelia, with the entire thallus developing from successive divisions of a two-celled ascospore. This determinate type of development is unusual amongst the Fungi and, in this case, has led to the evolution of a vast array of thallus forms. These fungi have had a controversial taxonomic history and have been centrally placed in arguments regarding the phylogenetic placement of ascomycete fungi generally" (Alex Weir).

Relationships

The Labouls are obligate ectoparasites of insects, but do not typically kill their hosts (Wikipedia).
