Monodictys is a genus of fungi of uncertain familial and ordinal placement in the class Ascomycetes. The genus was circumscribed by Welsh-born Canadian mycologist Stanley Hughes in 1956. He assigned Monodictys putredinis as the type species.[1]

Description

The genus Monodictys is characterized by its muriform conidia, which can be either partially or fully pigmented and are typically formed on slender conidiophores. Species from this genus predominantly inhabit leaves, flowers, and decaying wood, though they can also be found in air, oil, freshwater, and on human skin. Genera closely related in appearance to Monodictys include Hermatomyces, Pithomyces, Berkleasmium, Intercalarispora, and Canalisporium.[2]
