Etymology

Ceratostomella comes from Greek parts cerato- 'horn', stoma 'mouth', and the small ending -ella 'little'. The name refers to tiny horn-shaped openings on the fungus that act like 'little mouths' where its spores come out, so the word helps you remember this fungus by its little horn-like spore openings.
