Importance and role
Importance of genus to ecosystem
Species of Peridiothelia are saprobic and helps in decomposition of organic matter in the ecosystem.
Industrial relevance and applications
The industrial applications of Peridiothelia have not been investigated.
Quarantine significance
No disease has been reported from Peridiothelia.
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
The chemical diversity of Peridiothelia has not been investigated.
Diversity of the genus
Peridiothelia comprises three species known on Prunus sp. (Rosaceae) in Arizona and Tilia cordata (Malvaceae) in Sweden. The diversity of Peridiothelia is still only poorly understood, and the lineages described so far represent only a small fraction of the true diversity of Peridiothelia. Extensive sampling in understudied host and region is needed to preserve the diversity of Peridiothelia.
