The Spiculogloeomycetes are a class of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina of the Basidiomycota.[1] The class consists of a single order, the Spiculogloeales, together with an additional, unassigned genus, Meniscomyces.[3] Many species are currently known only from their yeast states. Species in the genus Spiculogloea form hyphal states that produce auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia and are parasitic on other fungi.[2]
