Periglandula are a genus of fungi in the family Clavicipitaceae.

Symbiosis

Main article: Periglandula ipomoeae § Symbiosis

They live as epibionts, in a symbiotic relationship with two species of plant, Ipomoea asarifolia and Ipomoea corymbosa . ^[2] They are known to produce ergot alkaloids related to lysergic acid such as ergine (lysergic acid amide; LSA), and LSH. ^{[3] [4] [5]}
