Cordycipitaceae
The Cordycipitaceae are a family of parasitic fungi in the Ascomycota, class Sordariomycetes and order Hypocreales. The family was first published in 1969 by mycologist Hanns Kreisel, but the naming was invalid according to the code of International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. It was validly published in 2007. Description Cordycipitaceae species have stromata or subicula that are pallid or brightly pigmented and fleshy. Their perithecia are superficial to completely immersed in the substrate, and oriented at right angles to the surface of the stroma. The asci are cylindrical with a thickened ascus tip. Ascospores are usually cylindrical, contain multiple septa, and disarticulate into part-spores or remain intact at maturity.

Akanthomyces
''Akanthomyces'' is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Cordycipitaceae and consisting of parasites of spiders and Lepidoptera. The genus was first described by Lebert in 1858. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. Such a taxon, usually a species, is said to exhibit cosmopolitanism or cosmopolitism. The ext ....

Cordyceps Militaris
''Cordyceps militaris'' is a species of fungus in the family Cordycipitaceae, and the type species of the genus ''Cordyceps''. It was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as ''Clavaria militaris''. Description Macroscopic characteristics The fungus forms 1–8 cm high, club-shaped and orange/red fruiting bodies, which grow out of dead underground pupae. The club is covered with the stroma, into which the actual fruit bodies, the perithecia, are inserted. The surface appears roughly punctured. The inner fungal tissue is whitish to pale orange. Microscopic features The spores are smooth, hyaline, long-filiform, and often septate. They decompose to maturity in 3–7 μm × 1–1.2 μm subpores. The asci are long and cylindrical. Sometimes an anamorphic state, which is ''Isaria'', is found. Masses of white mycelia form around the parasitised insect; however, these may not be of the same species.

Gibellula
''Gibellula pulchra'' is a species of parasitic fungus found on arachnids. The species ''Gibellula pulchra'' is commonly found around the world. The genus ''Gibellula'' was named after Prof. Giuseppe Gibelli. Some researchers have mistaken '' Gibellula suffulata'' as ''Gibellula pulchra'' though they are different species from the same genus that both prey on arachnids. Specimens of ''Gibellula pulchra'' from North America are held in various collections facilities: the Herbarium of the University of Michigan, Herbarium of Cornell University, Mycological Collection of the U.S. Bureau of Plant Industry, Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden, and Farlow Herbarium. Habitat Like other Ascomycetes ''Gibellula pulchra'' can be found under stones, bark, leaves, on decaying logs, or in hidden burrows of plant matter on the forest floor. Often ''Gibellula pulchra'' is more clearly identified after entering an arachnid, enveloping their host, and growing on their cadavers. Once ...

Hypocreales
The Hypocreales are an order of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes. In 2008, it was estimated that it contained some 237 genera, and 2647 species in seven families. Since then, a considerable number of further taxa have been identified, including an additional family, the Stachybotryaceae. According to the Catalog of Life, the Hypocreales contains 6 families, 137 genera, and 1411 species. Species of Hypocreales are usually recognized by their brightly colored, perithecial ascomata, or spore-producing structures. These are often yellow, orange or red. Genera ''incertae sedis'' According to a 2020 review of fungal classification, the following genera within the Hypocreales have an uncertain taxonomic placement (''incertae sedis''), and have not been assigned to any family: *'' Acremoniopsis'' – 1 sp. *'' Berkelella'' – 2 spp. *'' Bulbithecium'' – 1 sp. *'' Cephalosporiopsis'' – 10 spp. *'' Chondronectria'' – 1 sp. *'' Cylindronectria'' – 1 sp. *'' Diploos ...

Engyodontium
Engyodontium is a genus of fungi belonging to the group Hyphomycetes and contains about 6 species. This fungus was formerly included in ''Beauveria'', but is now recognized as a distinct genus. Outdoors it is common in soil and plant debris. Indoors, it can be found on paper, textiles, jute, and painted walls. The most common species is ''E. album''. It forms a cottony, white colony producing numerous dry, tiny conidia. Production of mycotoxins by this fungus has not been reported at this time. It is an opportunist fungus and causes brain abscesses, keratitis, and native valve endocarditis Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. It usually involves the heart valves. Other structures that may be involved include the interventricular septum, the chordae tendineae, the mural endocardium, or the ... to immunocompromised people.

Cordyceps
''Cordyceps'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes about 600 species. Most ''Cordyceps'' species are endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few are parasitic on other fungi. The generic name ''Cordyceps'' is derived from the Greek word κορδύλη ''kordýlē'', meaning "club", and the Greek word κεφαλή ''cephali'', meaning "head". The genus has a worldwide distribution and most of the approximately 600 species that have been described are from Asia (notably Nepal, China, Japan, Bhutan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand). ''Cordyceps'' species are particularly abundant and diverse in humid temperate and tropical jungles. Subtaxa There are two recognized subgenera: *''Cordyceps'' subgen. ''Cordyceps'' Fr. 1818 *''Cordyceps'' subgen. ''Cordylia'' Tul. & C. Tul. 1865 ''Cordyceps'' subgen. ''Epichloe'' was at one time a subgenus, but is now regarded as a separate genus, ''Epichloë''.

Beauveria
''Beauveria'' is a genus of asexually-reproducing fungi allied with the ascomycete family Cordycipitaceae. Its several species are typically insect pathogens. The sexual states (teleomorphs) of ''Beauveria'' species, where known, are species of ''Cordyceps''. ''Beauveria'' species are white entomopathogenic fungi. They form unicellular conidia that are typically hydrophobic and very small. The conidia are formed holoblastically from basally inflated conidiogenous cells. After conidium production, the conidiogenous cell elongates before producing another conidium atop a small denticle (a narrow projection bearing a conidium or sporangium). The result is the formation of a distinctive, slender, zig-zag rachis. Colonies of ''Beauveria'' species are typically white or off-white on artificial culture media. Species of '' Tritirachium'' resemble ''Beauveria'' species in having a zig-zag conidiogenous cells, but differ in lacking conspicuous denticles and in producing yellow-brown ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
