Genus Nectriopsis
[parasites on slime molds, other fungi]
This genus once had about 58 species but DNA studies are moving some to other genera. The core species of the genus are found on myxomycetes; these include Nectriopsis candicans, N. sporangiicola, and the type species N. violacea.
Nectriopsis violacea is a rare species in the Chicago Region.

- Taxonomy
- Molecular phylogenetic studies have adjusted the positions of some species. Nectriopsis tremellicola (on Crepidotus) and Nectriopsis tubariicola (on Tubaria) belong in Hypomyces (Zare and Gams 2016). Nectriopsis parmeliae (on lichens) has moved to Ovicuculispora.
