Cosmospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.[1][2] The genus, as circumscribed by Rossman et al. (1998), included all the nectrioid species with small, reddish, non-ornamented sexual fruiting bodies that collapse laterally when dry.[1] However, the genus was shown to be polyphyletic,[3] and the majority of species were re-classified into revived or recently established genera that are monophyletic.[3][4] Cosmospora sensu Rossman housed members of the following genera: , Cylindrocladiella, Fusicolla, , Mariannaea, , , , and Volutella.[2] Cosmospora was restricted to species having acremonium-like asexual morphs that grow on polypores and xylariaceous fungi.[3]

The name Cosmospora comes from Greek kosmos + spora, meaning ornamented spores.
