Dimargaritales is a monotypic order of fungi in the monotypic Dimargaritomycetes class within the subdivision of Kickxellomycotina.^[2]

Dimargaritales
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Fungi
Class:	Dimargaritomycetes
Order:	Dimargaritales R.K. Benj. 1979^[1]
Families
Dimargaritaceae

Dimargaritales was published in 1979, while Dimargaritomycetes was published by Tedersoo et al. in Fungal Diversity vol.90, Issue 1 on page 151 in 2018.^[3]

It is parasitic.^[4] But can grow solitary on agar media, thus cold facultative parasite.

Only one family, Dimargaritaceae, exists, containing three genera:

• Dimargaritaceae
  • Dimargaris - 7 spp.
  • Dispira - 4 spp.
  • Tieghemiomyces - 2 spp.

• Dimargaritales incertae sedis
  • Spinalia^[5]
