👉 Ersephila is a genus of fungi that belongs to the family Fungiidae, commonly known as yeasts. They are closely related to yeast and belong to the same kingdom (Eukaryota), but they differ in their life cycle and morphology. The species within this genus are typically simple or multi-wound yeasts with a single cell wall. Ersephila is characterized by its large, flat cells that produce spores via a process called meiosis.
