Hypoxylon
''Hypoxylon'' is a genus of ascomycetes commonly found on dead wood, and usually one of the earliest species to colonise dead wood. A common European species is ''Hypoxylon fragiforme'' which is particular common on dead trunks of beech. Based on morphological studies and gene sequence analyses, 27 species formerly assigned to ''Hypoxylon'' sect. ''Annulata'' were reassigned to a new genus called '' Annulohypoxylon'' in 2005. Research in Iran has shown the potential of some species of Hypoxylon in producing chemicals that are antagonistic against the disease Ash dieback. Use in the cultivation of ''Tremella fuciformis'' Some species in the genus ''Hypoxylon'' may be used in the cultivation of ''Tremella fuciformis'', one of the foremost medicinal and culinary fungi of China and Taiwan. ''Tremella fuciformis'' is a parasitic yeast that does not form an edible fruitbody without parasitizing another fungus. Its preferred host, formerly known as ''Hypoxylon archeri'', was moved ...

Annulohypoxylon Archeri
''Annulohypoxylon archeri'' (formerly ''Hypoxylon archeri'') is a saprophytic fungus species. It was moved from the genus '' Hypoxylon'' into the genus ''Annulohypoxylon'' erected in 2005 by Hsieh, Ju and Rogers. ''A. archeri'' is commonly used in the cultivation of ''Tremella fuciformis'' - one of the foremost medicinal and culinary fungi of China and Taiwan. ''Tremella fuciformis'' is a parasitic yeast that does not form an edible fruitbody without parasitizing another fungus. ''Annulohypoxylon archeri'' is its preferred host, so cultivators usually pair cultures of ''Tremella fuciformis'' with this species, or others in the former genus ''Hypoxylon'' (now spread into two genera – ''Hypoxylon'' and ''Annulohypoxylon''). See also * ''Annulohypoxylon'' * '' Hypoxylon'' * ''Tremella fuciformis ''Tremella fuciformis'' is a species of fungus; it produces white, frond-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies). It is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can b ...

Annulohypoxylon
''Annulohypoxylon'', sometimes called cramp balls, is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. The 27 species in the genus have a collectively widespread distribution. The genus ''Annulohypoxylon'' was created in 2005 and contains species formerly placed in the closely related genus '' Hypoxylon'' (it is equivalent to ''Hypoxylon'' section ''Annulata'' sensu). Fossils of ''Annulohypoxylon'' have been found in 12 million year old rocks from central England. Use in the cultivation of ''Tremella fuciformis'' Species in the genus ''Annulohypoxylon'', especially '' Annulohypoxylon archeri'', are commonly used in the cultivation of ''Tremella fuciformis'', one of the foremost medicinal and culinary fungi of China and Taiwan. ''Tremella fuciformis'' is a parasitic yeast that does not form an edible fruit body without parasitizing another fungus. The species ''Annulohypoxylon archeri'' is its preferred host A host is a person responsible for guests at an event or for prov ...

Tremella Fuciformis
''Tremella fuciformis'' is a species of fungus; it produces white, frond-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies). It is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can be found on the dead branches of broadleaf trees. This fungus is commercially cultivated and is one of the most popular fungi in the cuisine and medicine of China. ''Tremella fuciformis'' is commonly known as snow fungus, snow ear, silver ear fungus, white jelly mushroom, and white cloud ears. ''Tremella fuciformis'' is a parasitic yeast, and grows as a slimy, mucus-like film until it encounters its preferred hosts, various species of '' Annulohypoxylon'' (or possibly ''Hypoxylon'') fungi, whereupon it then invades, triggering the aggressive mycelial growth required to form the fruiting bodies. Taxonomy and naming ''Tremella fuciformis'' was first described in 1856 by English mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley, based on collections made in Brazil by the botanist and explorer Richard Spruce. In 1939, Ja ...

Fungus
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true f ...

Nectria Episphaeria
''Nectria'' is a genus of Ascomycete fungi. They are most often encountered as saprophytes on decaying wood but some species can also occur as parasites of trees, especially fruit trees (for example apple) and a number of other hardwood trees. Some species are significant pests causing diseases such as apple canker, Nectria twig blight, and coral spot in orchards. It is ubiquitous in cool temperate Europe and North America and appears to be an introduced species in New Zealand and Australia. The occurrence in New Zealand was first identified in 1996 in Otago and Southland although it is believed to have been present since the 1980s. In North America, ''Nectria'' infections have had economically important impacts on forestry and forest products including aspen, red oak, maple, beech, poplar, and birch. Species of ''Nectria'' also occur in warmer climates including island groups such as Hawaii. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the genus contains ...

Yeast
Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and at least 1,500 species are currently recognized. They are estimated to constitute 1% of all described fungal species. Yeasts are unicellular organisms that evolved from multicellular ancestors, with some species having the ability to develop multicellular characteristics by forming strings of connected budding cells known as pseudohyphae or false hyphae. Yeast sizes vary greatly, depending on species and environment, typically measuring 3–4  µm in diameter, although some yeasts can grow to 40 µm in size. Most yeasts reproduce asexually by mitosis, and many do so by the asymmetric division process known as budding. With their single-celled growth habit, yeasts can be contrasted with molds, which grow hyphae. Fungal species that can take both forms (depending on temperature or other conditions) are ca ...

Parasitism
Parasitism is a Symbiosis, close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the Host (biology), host, causing it some harm, and is Adaptation, adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as Armillaria mellea, honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the Orobanchaceae, broomrapes. There are six major parasitic Behavioral ecology#Evolutionarily stable strategy, strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), wikt:trophic, trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), Disease vector, vector-transmitted paras ...
