" principle, fungi can not have different names for their anamorphic and teleomorphic stages if they are found to be the same taxon. Quandt and colleagues formally synonymized ''Tolypocladium'' and ''Elaphocordyceps'' in 2014. Quandt and colleagues also synonymized the anamorphic genus ''Chaunopycnis'' with ''Tolypocladium''.
