Purpureocillium lilacinum is a species of filamentous fungus in the family Ophiocordycipitaceae. It has been isolated from a wide range of habitats, including cultivated and uncultivated soils, forests, grassland, deserts, estuarine sediments and sewage sludge, and insects. It has also been found in nematode eggs, and occasionally from females of root-knot and cyst nematodes. In addition, it has frequently been detected in the rhizosphere of many crops. The species can grow at a wide range of temperatures – from 8 to 38 °C (46 to 100 °F) for a few isolates, with optimal growth in the range 26

Moniliophthora is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus was described in 1978 with M. roreri as the type species. This fungus, formerly known as Monilia roreri, causes frosty pod rot, a serious disease of Theobroma cacao. Moniliophthora is closely related to the genus Crinipellis, also having distinctive tiny hairs on the cap surface, but is distinguished by having a flexible stem and a reddish coloration of the fruiting body.

Penicillium glandicola is an anamorph species of the genus of Penicillium which produces penitrem A, patulin, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole and roquefortine C

Moniliophthora roreri is a basidiomycete fungus that causes frosty pod rot disease, one of the most serious problems for cacao (Theobroma cacao— the source of chocolate) production in Latin America. This disease and together with witches’ broom disease (caused by M. perniciosa) and black pod rot (caused by Phytophthora sp.) constitute the cacao disease trilogy. It causes serious losses in southwestern parts of South America; spores are dry and powdery and are spread easily by water movement, wind, or movement of pods; disease spread is highest during periods of high rainfall.

Engyodontium aranearum is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Cordycipitaceae. It parasitizes the long bodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides). It causes 100% mortality in infected spiders.

Aspergillus felis is a heterothallic species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which can cause aspergillosis in humans, dogs and cats. It was described for the first time in 2013 after being isolated from different hosts worldwide (North and South America, Europe, Africa, Northeast Asia, and Asia-Pacific). The first host infected was a domestic cat with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis who gave its name to this new Aspergillus as Felis is a genus of cats in the family Felidae. Apsergillus felis was then described in a dog with disseminated invasive aspergillosis and a human patient with

Xanthothecium is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Xanthothecium peruvianum.

Purpureocillium is a fungal genus in the Ophiocordycipitaceae family. The genus now contains at least 5 species with the type species Purpureocillium lilacinum, a common soil mold. It has been isolated from a wide range of habitats, including cultivated and uncultivated soils, forests, grassland, deserts, estuarine sediments and sewage sludge, and insects. It has also been found in nematode eggs, and occasionally from females of root-knot and cyst nematodes. In addition, it has frequently been detected in the rhizosphere of many crops. The species can grow at a wide range of temperatures –

Penicillium flavigenum is a species of the genus of Penicillium which produces penitrem A, penicillin and roquefortine C.

Penicillium discolor is a species of the genus of Penicillium which occurs in nuts, vegetables and cheese and produces chaetoglobosins (chaetoglobosin A - J), palitantin, cyclopenin, cyclopenol, cyclopeptin, dehydrocyclopeptin, viridicatin and viridicatol.

Penicillium coprophilum is a species of the genus of Penicillium which produces roquefortine C, griseofulvin and oxaline.

Mariannaea elegans an anamorphic fungus (i.e., it reproduces exclusively asexually). It is mainly found on rotting wood and soil. M. elegans is not pathogenic to humans, animals, or plants.

Aspergillus pseudodeflectus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Usti section. The species was first described in 1975. It has been reported to produce drimans, ophiobolins G and H, and austins.

Aspergillus homomorphus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. A. homomorphus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 1995. It has been isolated from soil from the Dead Sea in Israel. The mycotoxin secalonic acid D has been reported from this fungus. In addition, it produces many exometabolites only found in this fungus. The genome of A. homomorphus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to

Aspergillus fischeri is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. And is widely distribute in soil, grain and canned food world wide. In the other hand Aspergillus fischeri is a BSL-1 plant pathogen. About 64% of species in genus Aspergillus lack knowned sexual reproduction in their life cycle, causing them were classified into Fungi imperfecti before, producing the teleomorph name Neosartorya fischeri when the sexual reproduction were discovered. But after the abolish of the Fungi imperfecti nomenclature, Aspergillus which is the anamorph name of should be the holomorph name when we

Penicillium scabrosum is a species of fungus in the family Aspergillaceae was first formally described in 1990. The fungus forms distinctively coloured colonies that are typically yellow, orange, or red-brown, and features microscopically roughened stalks that inspired its species epithet scabrosum. It has been repeatedly isolated from soil samples in temperate regions, particularly in northern Europe and Canada, and occurs frequently in wheat and barley field soils. The fungus produces several biologically active compounds including fumigaclavines, fumitremorgines, viridicatin, viridicatol,
