The Filobasidiales are an order in the fungal class Tremellomycetes. The one family in the order, the Filobasidiaceae, contains four species.[1] They are distinguished from other tremelloid species by the lack of a macroscopic basidiocarp.

One species of the family seems to be interesting for biotechnological applications. Filobasidium floriforme shows an ability to produce lipases which could be used in biofuel production.[2]
