Neonectria
genus of fungi
Neonectria is a genus of fungi in the family Nectriaceae.
It is a cosmopolitan genus commonly distributed in tropical and temperate regions. The species occur as saprobes (processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter), pathogens and some species have been isolated as soil inhabitants (Brayford 1993; Chaverri et al. 2011).
Neonectria was linked to the asexual genus Cylindrocarpon. Later phylogenetic analysis revealed that Neonectria and Cylindrocarpon are
phylogenetically congeneric and they are not monophyletic (Mantiri et al. 2001; Brayford et al. 2004; Seifert et al. 2003).
A taxonomic revision of Neonectria sensu lato was provided by Chaverri et al.
“Neonectria” enters the record as genus of fungi. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Neonectria, genus and fungi can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Neonectria” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Neonectria, genus and fungi provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3874687. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2011, 2001 and 2004.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
