At present 75 species of Hypocrea have
been identified in temperate Europe. Nineteen green-spored species and their Trichoderma asexual states are here described in detail. Extensive
searches for Hypocrea teleomorphs in 14 European countries, with
emphasis on Central Europe, yielded more than 620 specimens within five years.
The morphology of fresh and dry stromata was studied. In addition, available
types of species described from Europe were examined. Cultures were prepared
from ascospores and used to study the morphology of cultures and anamorphs, to
determine growth rates, and to extract DNA that was used for amplification and
sequencing of three genetic markers. ITS was used for identification, while RNA
polymerase II subunit b (rpb2) and translation elongation factor 1 alpha (tef1)
were analyzed for phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus …..More
