class=skin-invert-image|thumb|right|180px|Chemical structure of the trichothecene core Trichothecenes constitute a large group of chemically related mycotoxins. They are produced by fungi of the genera Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, Podostroma, Trichothecium, Cephalosporium, '' and Stachybotrys''. Chemically, trichothecenes are a class of sesquiterpenes.

class=skin-invert-image|thumb|right|180px|Chemical structure of the trichothecene core Trichothecenes constitute a large group of chemically related mycotoxins. They are produced by fungi of the genera Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, Podostroma, Trichothecium, Cephalosporium, '' and Stachybotrys. Chemically, trichothecenes are a class of sesquiterpenes.
All trichothecenes share a cyclic terpene core but differ in the type of functional groups (R groups) attached to the carbon backbone. They are produced on many different grains such as wheat, oats, or maize by various Fusarium species including F. graminearum, F. sporotrichioides, F. poae, and F. equiseti.
