A robust phylogenetic framework for ophiostomatoid fungi: orders Ophiostomatales and Microascales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) [PDF]
MycoKeysOphiostomatoids are an ecological group of microfungi that commonly associate with bark and ambrosia beetles. In addition to being insect symbionts, they play significant ecological roles as plant pathogens and include species responsible for major ...

The mitogenomes of Leptographium aureum, Leptographium sp., and Grosmannia fruticeta: expansion by introns [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionMany members of the Ophiostomatales are of economic importance as they are bark-beetle associates and causative agents for blue stain on timber and in some instances contribute towards tree mortality.

Characterization of the mitochondrial genomes for Ophiostoma ips and related taxa from various geographic origins and related species: large intron-rich genomes and complex intron arrangements [PDF]
IMA FungusThe Ophiostomatales are of economic concern, as many are blue-stain fungi and some are plant pathogens. The mitogenomes of members assigned to this order exhibit size polymorphism despite having highly conserved gene order, owing to the variable number ...
