Volutella is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Nectriaceae. [2]

The fungal genus was established by Fries (1832) with Volutella ciliata (Alb. & Schwein.) Fr. as the type species. [1] It had about 47 species in 2011, however, many species were later revised and transferred to other genera such as Calonectria , Coccinonectria , Lectera , Koorchaloma , Pseudonectria and Volutellonectria [3] and only 11 species have sequence data in GenBank. Gräfenhan et al. (2011) then revised the genus and accepted three species viz. Volutella ciliata, Volutella consors and Volutella citrinella into Volutella. [3] Later, seven additional species were introduced in the genus. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

The genus is characterized by discoid sporodochia (or synnemata) with marginal setae, sparingly branched to verticillate conidiophores, compact and phialidic conidiogenous cells, and 1-celled, ovoid to oblong conidia. asexond asexual morph is present in some species with two or more whorls of conidiogenous cells. [3] [10] [6] [7]

Apiospora is a genus of fungi which cause plant diseases. It gives its name to the family Apiosporaceae, which contains a number of other genera. This is historically a name for the teleomorph (sexual) life-cycle stage of the fungus; for some species the corresponding anamorph name is Arthrinium.

<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 by Gräfenhan in 2011. About 20 species are accepted in the genus.
