Neocosmospora is a genus of fungi in the family Nectriaceae.
The genus was established by Smith in 1899.[1] Species in the genus are saprobes (processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter), endophytes (a fungus that lives within a plant for at least part of its life cycle), and plant and animal pathogens and they are commonly found in soil, plant debris, living plant material, air and water (Sandoval-Denis et al. 2019;[2] Guarnaccia et al. 2021).[3]
There exists a "lumper and splitter" problem surrounding the genus and the so-called Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC). Neocosmospora in the modern splitter view of Lombard et al. (2015) is equivalent to the FSSC in scope.[4]
