Cosmospora Scruposae
''Cosmospora'' is a genus of Ascomycota, ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus, as circumscribed by Rossman et al. (1998), included all the Nectria, 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. ''Cosmospora'' ''sensu'' Rossman housed members of the following genera: ''Chaetopsina'', ''Cylindrocladiella'', ''Fusicolla'', ''Macroconia'', ''Mariannaea'', ''Microcera'', ''Pseudocosmospora'', ''Stylonectria'', and ''Volutella (fungus), Volutella''. ''Cosmospora'' was restricted to species having acremonium-like asexual morphs that grow on polypores and Xylariaceae, xylariaceous fungi by Gräfenhan in 2011. About 20 species are accepted in the genus (Gräfenhan et al. 2011; Herrera et al. 2015; Zeng and Zhuang et al. 2016; Luo et al. 2019; Lechat ...

Fungi
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or 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 motility, 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 o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
