Hypocrea is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. The widespread genus is estimated to contain 171 species that grow on rotten wood, and are often associated with other fungi.[2] Anamorphic genera associated with Hypocrea include Acremonium, Gliocladium, Trichoderma, and Verticillium.[3] Hypocrea was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Fries in 1825.[4] Due to changes within the code of nomenclature, the genus Trichoderma has been proposed for conservation over its teleomorph Hypocrea. This means that all species with both a Hypocrea and Trichoderma name will be officially known by their Trichoderma name, and any species only described as Hypocrea will be transferred to Trichoderma.[5]
