The MIXIOMYCETES are class of fungi in the Pucciniomycotina subdivision of the Basidiomycota . The class contains a single order , the MIXIALES, which in turn contains a single family , the MIXIACEAE that circumscribes the monotypic genus MIXIA. Only one species has been described to date, MIXIA OSMUNDAE; this species was originally named Taphrina osmundae by Japanese mycologist Toji Nishida in 1911. It is characterized by having multinucleate hyphae , and by producing multiple spores on sporogenous cells.
