The morphology of sexual fruit bodies has been historically regarded as a key character in fungal taxonomy. in the 1970s the class Plectomycetes was recognized in order to classify the cleistothecial ascomycetes. However, recent analysis of DNA sequencing data concerning the phylogeny of numerous cleistothecial ascomycetes confirmed that the criterion of the production of closed ascomata without a predefined opening and with an irregular arrangement of the asci at the centrum is of little systematic value, as pointed out by different authors on the basis of morphological studies.
