Chytridiomycetes (/kɪˌtrɪdioʊmaɪˈsiːtiːz, -ˈsiːts/[2]) is a class of fungi. Members are found in soil, fresh water, and saline estuaries. They are first known from the Rhynie chert.[3] It has recently been redefined to exclude the taxa Neocallimastigomycota and Monoblepharidomycetes, which are now a phylum and a sister-class respectively.[4]
