A class of fungi characterized by the production of spores (conidia) as their primary reproductive method.
From Greek 'konios' (dust) + 'myketes' (fungi). This taxonomic term reflects that these fungi reproduce through dust-like spores.
Coniomycetes are one of nature's most successful fungal groups—many plant diseases, food spoilage organisms, and allergens that plague humans belong to this class, making them economically important and medically significant.
