Neocosmospora

The genus was established by Smith in 1899. Species in the genus are saprobes (processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter), endophytes (a fungus that lives within a plant for at least part of its life cycle), and plant and animal pathogens and they are commonly found in soil, plant debris, living plant material, air and water (Sandoval-Denis et al. 2019; Guarnaccia et al. 2021).
