Gliomastix murorum

Gliomastix murorum does not grow on acid peats. Other than acid peats, there seems to be no particular place where G. murorum prefers to grow. The fungus is found in all different types of soil. It is commonly found on decaying plants and throughout the world, including both temperate zone and tropical zones. It is relatively common compared to other fungi species that are part of form-genus Gliomastix. other form-genus Gliomasix are typically spotted in tropical regions. While G. muroum is found commonly in countries, like New Zealand and Europe, it is found less in North America. It also could be isolated from places, like wood and textiles.

In the past, there have been some confusions regarding which genus G. murorum should be part of. Over the years, Names of G. murorum have changed numerous times. In 1905, in order to accommodate species, Torula chartarum Corda, Gueguen erected form-genus Gliomastix. At first, G. chartarum and T. chartarum, a same fungus as T. convoluta, were thought to be two different fungi. However, Mason concluded G. chartarum is synonymous to G. convoluta, which is the same fungus as the T. convoluta. and Hughes and Dickinson eventually listed all of them as a species called G. murorum and listed them to be synonymous to one another. The proposal stating Gliomastix is the same genus as Acremonium was not accepted. Also, placing G. murorum into form-genus Sagrahamala was not accepted.
