Myrmecridium
Myrmecridium is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. It was circumscribed in 2007 and is distinguished from similar fungi by having entirely hyaline vegetative hyphae and widely scattered, pimple-shaped denticles on the long hyaline rachis. The generic name derives from a combination of the Ancient Greek word "myrmekia", meaning "wart", and the suffix "-ridium" from "Chloridium".
Order Myrmecridiales and family Myrmecridiaceae was established to accommodate genus Myrmecridium which was previously placed in subclass Hypocreomycetidae, genera incertae sedis.
