Epichloë festucae is a systemic and seed-transmissible endophytic fungus of cool season grasses.
Epichloë festucae var. lolii
Epichloë festucae strains can have both a sexual reproductive morph (teleomorph) and an asexual reproductive morph (anamorph). For this group, the anamorph forms were long classified separately: initially in the genus Acremonium,[2] and after 1996, in the new genus Neotyphodium.[3] Since 2011, the nomenclatural code has required that a single name be used for all stages of development of a fungal species, and following a taxonomic revision of the genus Epichloë in 2014, the asexual forms of Epichloë festucae are now classified as Epichloë festucae var. lolii.[1]
