Luttr. ex Malloch (1970) Type genus Zukal (1886)  The
Microascaceae are a family of fungi in the class
Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae.[1] The family was
published by David Malloch in 1970, an emended description based
on Everet Stanley Luttrell's original 1951 publication.[2]
Microascaceae species have spherical to irregularly shaped,
darkly colored fruit bodies. They are usually hairy and rarely
smooth. The smooth spores are reddish brown to copper colored,
one-celled, and have a germ pore at one or both ends. Asci can
occur singly or in chains.[2]      2. ^ a b Malloch D. (1970).
