[edit] Trichomycota

From time to time we find a web resource that is so comprehensive well-organized that there is no point in providing a summary here. That is the case with the Trichomycota. We happily defer to link The Trichomycetes: Fungal Associates of Arthropods. The authors' own summary of their work is Chapter 1 of the treatise. Trichomycotes are obligate commensals (sometimes parasites) of insects and are thought to have developed with neopteran insects in the Mississippian.
