Mycosarcoma

Genus of fungi

Mycosarcoma is a genus of fungus including M. maydis, sometimes called Ustilago maydis, 'corn smut fungus'. This genus seems to be a result of recent genetic testing showing that a new taxon is needed to better organize these species, previously thought unrelated. The six recognized species were in different genera originally until genetic testing showed their relations and a genus name was resurrected to split these species into a more fitting nomenclature.
