Cyttaria sp. - MHNT
Cyttaria is a genus of ascomycete fungi. About 10 species belong to Cyttaria, found in South America and Australia associated with or growing on southern beech trees from the genus Nothofagus.[1] The "llao llao" fungus Cyttaria hariotii, one of the most common fungi in Andean-Patagonian forests,[2] has been shown to harbor the yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus, which may be source of the lager yeast S. pastorianus cold-tolerance.[3] Cyttaria was originally described by mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1842.[4]
