Cosmospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.[1][2] The genus, as circumscribed by Rossman et al. (1998), included all the nectrioid species with small, reddish, non-ornamented sexual fruiting bodies that collapse laterally when dry.[1] However, the genus was shown to be polyphyletic,[3] and the majority of species were re-classified into revived or recently established genera that are monophyletic.[3][4] Cosmospora sensu Rossman housed members of the following genera: Chaetopsina, Cylindrocladiella, Fusicolla, Macroconia, Mariannaea, Microcera, Pseudocosmospora, Stylonectria, and Volutella.[2] Cosmospora was restricted to species having acremonium-like asexual morphs that grow on polypores and xylariaceous fungi by Gräfenhan in 2011.[3] About 20 species are accepted in the genus (Gräfenhan et al. 2011;[3] Herrera et al. 2015;[4] Zeng and Zhuang et al. 2016;[5] Luo et al. 2019;[6] Lechat et al. 2021).[7]

The name Cosmospora comes from Greek kosmos + spora, meaning ornamented spores.
