Order Filobasidiales is a group of fungi within the phylum Basidiomycota, class Tremellomycetes. Members of this order are primarily yeast-like fungi that reproduce asexually by budding, though some can also produce filamentous structures under certain conditions. They are typically found in soil, leaf litter, and decaying wood, and some are associated with plants or other fungi. Filobasidiales species are known for their ecological roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition, and a few have been studied for their potential in biotechnology, such as enzyme production. They are generally non-pathogenic to humans, distinguishing them from some other Tremellomycetes.
