Nectriaceae Family of fungi

The Nectriaceae comprise a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales. It was circumscribed by brothers Charles and Louis René Tulasne in 1865.

<i>Hypocrea</i> Genus of fungi

Hypocrea is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. The widespread genus is estimated to contain 171 species that grow on rotten wood, and are often associated with other fungi. Anamorphic genera associated with Hypocrea include Acremonium, Gliocladium, Trichoderma, and Verticillium. Hypocrea was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Fries in 1825. Due to changes within the code of nomenclature, the genus Trichoderma has been proposed for conservation over its teleomorph Hypocrea. This means that all species with both a Hypocrea and Trichoderma name will be officially known by their Trichoderma name, and any species only described as Hypocrea will be transferred to Trichoderma.

<i>Hypocreopsis</i> Genus of fungi

Hypocreopsis is a genus of ascomycete fungi that form stromata on the stems of trees and shrubs. The stromata are orange-brown and consist of radiating, perithecial lobes.

Allonectella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.

Calostilbe is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.

<i>Calostilbella</i> Genus of fungi

Calostilbella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Calostilbella calostilbe.

<i>Corallomycetella</i> Genus of fungi

Corallomycetella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. Species of Corallomycetella are tropical, and are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs of their rhizostilbella-like asexual morphs. These fungi causes a number of plant diseases including 'violet root rot' of Theobroma cacao, root rot of Carica papaya, and 'stinking root disease' of several tropical woody plants. Two species of Corallomycetella are recognized: Corallomycetella elegans C. Herrera & P. Chaverri and Corallomycetella repens Rossman & Samuels. Corallomycetella jatrophae is now classified under Corallonectria.

<i>Cosmospora</i> Genus of fungi

Cosmospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus, as circumscribed by Rossman et al. (1998), included all the nectrioid species with small, reddish, non-ornamented sexual fruiting bodies that collapse laterally when dry. However, the genus was shown to be polyphyletic, and the majority of species were re-classified into revived or recently established genera that are monophyletic. Cosmosporasensu Rossman housed members of the following genera: Chaetopsina, Cylindrocladiella, Fusicolla, Macroconia, Mariannaea, Microcera, Pseudocosmospora, Stylonectria, and Volutella. Cosmospora was restricted to species having acremonium-like asexual morphs that grow on polypores and xylariaceous fungi.

Cylindrocladiella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. There are 11 species.

Cylindrocladium is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. Many species within this genus are synonymous with the genus Calonectria.

Glionectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Glionectria tenuis.

Rubrinectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Rubrinectria olivacea.

Stalagmites is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Stalagmites tumefaciens.

Xenocalonectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Xenocalonectria serpens.

<i>Fusicolla</i> Genus of fungi

Fusicolla is a genus of seven species of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Hermann Friedrich Bonorden in 1851. Fungi in the genus produce slimy orange sheets over the substrate, within which the perithecia can be either fully or partially immersed. Asexual spores are similar to those of Fusarium.

Clark Thomas Rogerson American mycologist (1918–2001)

Clark Thomas Rogerson,, was an American mycologist. He was known for his work in the Hypocreales (Ascomycota), particularly Hypomyces, a genus of fungi that parasitize other fungi. After receiving his doctorate from Cornell University in 1950, he went on to join the faculty of Kansas State University. In 1958, he became a curator at The New York Botanical Garden, and served as editor for various academic journals published by the Garden. Rogerson was involved with the Mycological Society of America, serving in various positions, including President in 1969. He was Managing Editor (1958–89) and Editor-in-chief (1960–65) of the scientific journal Mycologia.

Campylocarpon is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus was described in 2004. The two species in the genus, C. fasciculare and C. pseudofasciculare, are associated with black foot disease of grapevines, in which the roots develop black, sunken, necrotic lesions.

<i>Corallonectria</i> Genus of fungi

Corallonectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. Species of Corallonectria are Neotropical. These fungi are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs and of copulated synnematous fusarium-like asexual morphs in culture. The asexual morph in nature has been rarely observed. The sexual fruiting bodies are furfuraceous and usually seated at the base of a reddish synnemata. It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Corallonectria jatrophae. This species was formerly classified under Corallomycetella.

Peziotrichum is a genus of ascomycete fungus. It is an entomogenous fungus, meaning that it is found growing on the body of insects.
