   is a type of: order - (biology) taxonomic group containing one or more families
   subtypes:

   • erysiphales, order erysiphales - saprophytic and parasitic fungi that live on plants
   • order sphaeriales, sphaeriales - large order of ascomycetous fungi usually having a dark hard perithecia with definite ostioles; in more recent classifications often divided among several orders
   • hypocreales, order hypocreales - used in some classifications for the family Hypocreaceae
   • helotiales, order helotiales - order of fungi having asci in a disk-shaped to goblet-shaped apothecium
   • order sclerodermatales, sclerodermatales - an order of fungi having a peridium surrounding a gleba (sometimes placed in subclass Homobasidiomycetes)
   • hymenogastrales, order hymenogastrales - an order of fungi belonging to the class Gasteromycetes; has a distinct basidiocarp with a fleshy or waxy gleba (sometimes placed in subclass Homobasidiomycetes)
   • mucorales, order mucorales - an order of mostly saprophytic fungi
   • entomophthorales, order entomophthorales - coextensive with the family Entomophthoraceae
   • chytridiales, order chytridiales - simple aquatic fungi mostly saprophytic but some parasitic on higher plants or animals or fresh water fungi; sometimes placed in class Oomycetes
   • blastocladiales, order blastocladiales - fungi that carry out asexual reproduction by thick-walled resting spores that produce zoospores upon germination; sometimes placed in class Oomycetes
   • order saprolegniales, saprolegniales - order of chiefly aquatic fungi
   • order peronosporales, peronosporales - order of chiefly parasitic lower fungi: Albuginaceae and Peronosporaceae and Pythiaceae
   • order tuberales, tuberales - small order of fungi belonging to the subdivision Ascomycota having closed underground ascocarps
   • lichenales, order lichenales - category used especially in former classifications for organisms now constituting the division Lichenes
   • lechanorales, order lechanorales - category used in some classification systems for all lichens that produce apothecia
   • agaricales, order agaricales - typical gilled mushrooms belonging to the subdivision Basidiomycota
   • endomycetales, order endomycetales - fungi having a zygote or a single cell developing directly into an ascus
   • aspergillales, eurotiales, order aspergillales, order eurotiales - order of fungi having a closed ascocarp (cleistothecium) with the asci scattered rather than gathered in a hymenium
   • order pezizales, pezizales - order of mostly saprophytic fungi having cup-shaped ascocarps
   • order tulostomatales, tulostomatales - an order of fungi belonging to the class Gasteromycetes
   • lycoperdales, order lycoperdales - small order of basidiomycetous fungi having fleshy often globose fruiting bodies; includes puffballs and earthstars
   • nidulariales, order nidulariales - small order of basidiomycetous fungi comprising families Nidulariaceae and Sphaerobolaceae
   • order secotiales, secotiales - an order of fungi belonging to the class Gasteromycetes
   • aphyllophorales, order aphyllophorales - includes chiefly saprophytic fungi typically with shelflike bodies; sometimes placed in class Hymenomycetes or included in Agaricales
   • order tremellales, tremellales - fungi varying from gelatinous to waxy or even horny in texture; most are saprophytic
   • auriculariales, order auriculariales - coextensive with the family Auriculariaceae; sometimes included in the order Tremellales
   • order uredinales, uredinales - rust fungi: parasitic fungi causing rust in plants; sometimes placed in
   • order ustilaginales, ustilaginales - parasitic fungi causing smuts; sometimes placed in class Tiliomycetes
   • moniliales, order moniliales - order of imperfect fungi lacking conidiophores of having conidiophores that are superficial and not enclosed in a pycnidium
   • mycelia sterilia, order mycelia sterilia - order of imperfect fungi having no known spore stage
   belongs to: fungi, fungus kingdom, kingdom fungi - the taxonomic kingdom including yeast, molds, smuts, mushrooms, and toadstools; distinct from the green plants
