A taxonomic subfamily of fungi, typically organisms with circular or cyclical spore-producing structures.
From Greek 'kyklos' (circle) + 'spora' (spore) + Latin '-inae' (subfamily suffix). This classification term became standard in mycological taxonomy during the mid-20th century.
The suffix '-inae' is used for subfamilies in scientific naming, so cyclosporinae is like the 'neighborhood' within a larger fungal family—each suffix level tells you how related organisms are to each other!
