Distinguishable from other members of Calcarisporiellomycota based on diagnostic nucleotide signature in ITS 2 (positions 285–292 aaaatrtt; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Terrincolales, covering sequences MW 791967, EUK 1138132, EUK 1123677, EUK 0332618, EUK 1123675, and EUK 1123676 (Fig. 1).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Includes Terrincola (gen. nov.) and several potentially genus-level groups represented by sequences EUK 1123677 (forest soil in Estonia), EUK 0332618 (forest soil in Colombia), EUK 1123675 (wasteland soil in Estonia), and EUK 1123676 (garden soil in Estonia).
