2.3.8 Myrotheciomycetaceae

Jones et al. (2019) referred marine Emericellopsis species to the Hypocreales incertae sedis, but Crous et al. (2018b) introduced the family Myrotheciomycetaceae ( Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) for this genus, and this is followed here. Seven novel Emericellopsis species have been introduced in the last decade from a variety of substrata: E. atlantica on Stelletta normani in Ireland, E. cladophorae on the green alga Cladophora, E. phycophila both from Portugal (Gonçalves et al. 2020; Hagestad et al. 2021). This brings the number of marine Emericellopsis to twelve. Hagestad et al. (2021) sequenced the genome of an Emericellopsis sp. TS 7 from a marine origin.
