Emericellopsis is a genus of cleistothecial (closed fruit body) fungi found in soil and marine environments. Recently reinstated in Bionectriaceae, these fungi are notable for their adaptation to saline and alkaline environments. They produce closed ascomata that lack a defined opening (ostiole), releasing spores only when the fruit body ruptures or decays.
Produces cleistothecial ascomata which are globose and non-ostiolate. Ascospores are distinctively dark (often copper-colored to brown) and frequently possess wings or longitudinal ridges. The anamorph is Acremonium-like (specifically section Gliomastix-like).
