F. khargensis is a yeast and was first described in 2014 from environmental samples. F. khargensis belongs to the genus Fereydounia that grows as a yeast, was first identified in East Asia. The basidiomycetous yeast Fereydounia khargensis is recorded for the first time from living plants and in East Asia. Phylogenetic analysis indicates a relationship with smut fungi belonging to the order Urocystidales, where the monotypic Fereydouniaceae and the monogeneric Doassansiopsidaceae form the two most basal clades. In culture, this fungus produced cylindrical cells that reproduced by polar budding on short stalks. Production of ballistoconidia and blastospores was observed.
