The Pyxidiophorales are an order of fungi in the class Laboulbeniomycetes. The order was created in 2001[1] to contain the single family Pyxidiophoraceae, circumscribed in 1971.[2] The Pyxidiophoraceae are mostly coprophilous fungi that associate with mites and other arthropods.[3] The type genus, Pyxidiophora, the largest genus of the family, has about 20 species.
