Entorrhizomycota are a phylum of Fungi in the subkingdom Dikarya along with Basidiomycota and Ascomycota. It contains the single order Entorrhizales, which in turn contains the single family Entorrhizaceae, a small group of teliosporic root parasites that form galls on plants in the Juncaceae (rush) and Cyperaceae (sedge) families. Prior to 2015 this phylum was placed under the subdivision Ustilaginomycotina. A 2015 study did a "comprehensive five-gene analyses" of Entorrhiza and concluded that the former class Entorrhizomycetes is possibly either a close sister group to the rest of Dikarya or Basidiomycota.
