The Mycotyphaceae are a family of fungi in the order Mucorales. Members of this family, rarely reported, are thought to be more common in warmer climates.[1]

Species in this family have sporangiola borne on dehiscent pedicels.

Systematics

The family comprises a single genus with three species:[2]

  • Mycotypha africana Novak & Backus, 1963[3]
  • Mycotypha indica P.M. Kirk & Benny, 1985[4]
  • Mycotypha microspora Fenner, 1932 (generic type species)[5]
