Members of the Monoblepharidomycetes have a filamentous thallus that is either extensive or simple and unbranched. They frequently have a holdfast at the base. In contrast to other taxa in their phylum, some reproduce using autospores, although many do so through zoospores. Oogamous sexual reproduction may also occur.[4]

In addition to the type genus, the order Monoblepharidales includes Harpochytrium and Oedogoniomyces.[4]

Taxonomy

Based on the work of "The Mycota: A Comprehensive Treatise on Fungi as Experimental Systems for Basic and Applied Research"[5] and synonyms from "Part 1- Virae, Prokarya, Protists, Fungi".[6][7]
