Ustilaginomycotina

The Ustilaginomycotina is a subphyla within the division Basidiomycota of the kingdom Fungi. It consists of the classes Ustilaginomycetes and Exobasidiomycetes, and in 2014 the subphyla was reclassified and the two additional classes Malasseziomycetes and Moniliellomycetes was added. The name was first published by Doweld in 2001; Bauer and colleagues later published it in 2006 as an isonym. Ustilagomycotina and Agaricomycotina are considered to be sister groups, and they are in turn sister groups to the subphyla Pucciniomycotina.
