Abstract
⺠A Pyronemataceae s. str., composed of 10 strongly-supported lineages, is delimited. ⺠Ectomycorrhiza evolved from a saprobic lifestyle 7-8 times in Pyronemataceae s. l. ⺠An obligate bryosymbiotic life strategy originated only twice in Pezizomycetes. ⺠Carotenoids are ancestral in Pyronemataceae excluding early diverging lineages. ⺠Ascomatal hairs and spore guttulation in Pyronemataceae s. str. are prone to shifts.
