The family, order and class were originally labelled as incertae sedis.[2] Until 2014, when Moniliellaceae was formed.[3]

Some species of Moniliella can cause disease in humans,[4] and also in cats.[5] The genus includes the black, yeast-like fungi in the Basidiomycota, although the black, yeast-like fungi also include some species from the Ascomycota.[6]

Distribution

edit

It has a scattered distribution, found in North and South America, Europe and Asia.[7]
