Talk:Chytridiales

Families & Genera
Cladochytriaceae, Endochytriaceae, Nowakowskiellaceae, and Septochytriaceae all involve species now assigned to Cladochytriales. Synchytriaceae was removed from the group based on molecular evidence. The current version of Chytridiales does not include many of the genera listed. . To quote from Velez et al. "Other monophyletic groups previously classified in the Chytridiales but not monophyletic with the type are excluded; Blyttiomyces helices Sparrow and M. Barr, the Synchytrium clade and the Polychytrium clade (James et al. 2006) are of necessity relegated as orders incertae sedis. [...] Zoospore ultra-structure and molecular phylogeny define the boundaries of the Chytridiales and establish it as a monophyletic order."
