They belong to a morpholigical group called "aquatic hyphomycetes" which are fungi that grow on submerged decaying plant matter, but they are also found as mycoparasites and endophytes.[4] This is only an informal descriptive group which is divided phylogenetically between asco types (the great majority) and basidio types (a small percentage of hyphomycetes).[4] The Classiculomycetes belong to the basidiomycete minority.[5]
