Corallonectria
Genus of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corallonectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.[1][2] Species of Corallonectria are Neotropical.[1][3] These fungi are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs and of copulated synnematous fusarium-like asexual morphs in culture.[1] The asexual morph in nature has been rarely observed (e.g. a specimen collection from Panama in Mushroom Observer). The sexual fruiting bodies are furfuraceous and usually seated at the base of a reddish synnemata.[1][3] It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Corallonectria jatrophae.[1][2] This species was formerly classified under Corallomycetella.[1]
