Hypocrea is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. The widespread genus is estimated to contain 171 species that grow on rotten wood, and are often associated with other fungi.Anamorphic genera associated with Hypocrea include Acremonium, Gliocladium, Trichoderma, and Verticillium.Hypocrea was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Fries in 1825. Due to changes with in the code of nomenclature, the genus Trichoderma has been proposed for conservation over its teleomorph Hypocrea. This means that all species with both a Hypocrea and Trichoderma name will be officially known by their Trichoderma name, and any species only described as Hypocrea will be transferred to Trichoderma.
