Phylogenetic, ecological and morphological characteristics reveal two new spider-associated genera in Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2022 Clavicipitaceous fungi are pathogenic to scale insects, white flies and other insect orders. However, a few species are spider-associated. Two new genera from China, Neoaraneomyces and Pseudometarhizium, are described based on phylogenetic, ecological ...

Characterisation of Metarhizium majus (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) isolated from the Western Cape province, South Africa [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2020 AbstractEntomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are important soil-dwelling entomopathogens, which can be used as biocontrol agents against pest insects. During a survey of the orchard soil at an organic farm, the EPF were identified to species level, using both morphological and molecular techniques.

Ergot Alkaloids of the Family Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2017 Ergot alkaloids are highly diverse in structure, exhibit diverse effects on animals, and are produced by diverse fungi in the phylum Ascomycota, including pathogens and mutualistic symbionts of plants. These mycotoxins are best known from the fungal family Clavicipitaceae and are named for the ergot fungi that, through millennia, have contaminated ...
