N2 - The magnitude and understanding of Kingdom Fungi are expanding with the application of DNA-based molecular approaches. Non Dikarya fungi (= basal fungi, early divergent fungi and lower fungi), a large group of fungi that are included in 16 different phyla, comprise approximately 5000 species to date. This compilation gathers all existing information on the families of the phyla of non-Dikarya fungi. Two phylogenomic analyses are provided separately to show the relationships of the phyla of non-Dikarya and families of Mucoromycota, respectively. A phylogenetic tree based on partial 45S or partial 28S sequences is provided to show the placements of families in Glomeromycota. We provide the descriptions of each family and its type genus, including an illustration of the type species, or a well-established other genus in the family. All the genera included in the family are listed with their type species. Bulbosporaceae fam. nov. is introduced to accommodate Bulbospora in Gigasporales (Glomeromycetes, Glomeromycota). Densosporales Tedersoo, Densosporaceae Desirò et al., and Jimgerdemanniaceae Tedersoo are validated. Taxa in Rozellomycota (including Microsporidia) and Aphelidiomycota are currently accepted as groups of fungi. Still, most species names require further revision following the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. Caudosporina Tokarev & Issi nom. nov. is provided to accommodate Caudospora J. Weiser (nom. illegit.). Taxa introduced based on eDNA (by Tedersoo et al. 2024) are listed separately, as currently these taxa are treated as invalid. Fossil non-Dikarya taxa are also provided separately.
