Trichoderma (pathogens of mushrooms and crops) Pers. 1794

The species of this genus are widespread and common in soil, decaying wood and plant debris. Many species are mycoparasites and considered to have a potential as antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi, see Trichoderma (antagonists). However, several strains and species are also known to cause diseases in cultivated mushrooms or have been associated with crop diseases. This group is covered here. Still others strains are harmful to humans or are used in the industrial production of certain compounds.

For a taxonomic review see Jaklitsch and Voglmayr, 2015.
