Arachnomyces is a genus of cleistothecial ascomycete fungi described in 1902,[1] of which the anamorph (asexual) stage is the genus Onychocola.[2] Although morphologically similar to members of other families, the fungus now belongs to its own monotypic family Arachnomycetaceae, which is the only family in the monotypic order Arachnomycetales.[3][4]
