Acremonium

Acremonium is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. It used to be known as Cephalosporium.

==Description== Acremonium species are usually slow-growing and are initially compact and moist. Their hyphae are fine and hyaline, and produce mostly simple phialides. Their conidia are usually one-celled (i.e. ameroconidia), hyaline or pigmented, globose to cylindrical, and mostly aggregated in slimy heads at the apex of each phialide.
