- Taxonomy
-
Following recent changes to the rules of nomenclature,
One Fungus, One Name,
there may be name changes regarding teleomorph and anamorph names. The anamorph name Trichoderma is favored by some over the teleomorph name Hypocrea (see ISTH link below). - Cladobotryum, Mycogone, Sepedonium, Sibirina, and Stephanoma are anamorphs of Hypomyces. Gliocladium Corda in the strict sense is an anamorph of Sphaerostilbella. Chromocrea, Creopus, Podocrea, and Podostroma were merged back into Hypocrea.
