Clavariopsis is a genus of fungi that is known for living in aquatic environments. It is form-classified as an aquatic hyphomycete, and is connected to freshwater streams. It is not known to live anywhere outside aquatic systems.[1] Clavariopsis lives off decomposing leaves in streams,[2] and Lignocellulose-Decomposing Enzymes are identified in the genus.[1] These enzymes break down plant molecules, and Clavariopsis thus plays an important role in nutrient cycling in rivers.[2]
Clavariopsis is a near-cosmopolitan genus of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales, but the family is unknown.[3] Clavariopsis aquatica was the first species described of the genus, and was one of the first aquatic hyphomycetes ever described.[3]
