Glaziellaceae
Glaziellaceae J.L. Gibson
Facesoffungi number: FoF 04213
The first specimen of Glaziella was recorded from Cuba but was mistakenly described by Berkeley and Curtis (1869) as a Xylaria species. Later specimens were recorded from the Caribbean islands such as Grenada and Jamaica (Gibson et al. 1986). All taxa (Table 7) are hypogeous and saprobic. Ascomata are tuber-like, lobed, slightly elongate, Boedijn 1930; Korf 1958; Gibson et al. 1986). Asexual morphs are not recorded. Recent studies on Glaziellaceae include Salerni et al. (2013) and Enshasy et al. (2013).
