Parasarocladium R. C. Summerbell, J. A. Scott, J. Guarro & P. W. Crous

Notes.

The genus Parasarocladium was first introduced by Summerbell et al. (2018) to accommodate three soil borne, acremonium-like species, and is typified by Pa. radiatum , which was isolated from soil in India. Currently, 15 species epithets are recognized for Parasarocladium in Mycobank (Accession date: March 10, 2025). Conidiophores of Parasarocladium species are solitary or aggregated, arising from aerial or substratal mycelium, erect, aseptate or septate, smooth, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells are phialidic, hyaline, smooth, lateral or terminal, straight or irregularly curved, monophialides or polyphialides. The conidia are hyaline, smooth, ellipsoidal to ovate, or bacilliform to fusiform, aseptate, sometimes slightly curved, forming slimy heads on the phialides ( Summerbell et al. 2018; Lee et al. 2025). Parasarocladium has a global distribution and has been isolated from soil and plants as a soil borne fungus, plant pathogen, and endophyte. ( Summerbell et al. 2018; Hou et al. 2023).
