A violet ascomycete that parasitizes the slime mould Fuligo septica (dog vomit slime mould), growing over its fruiting crust. Its small perithecia sit partly immersed in a subiculum, and it has an Acremonium-like asexual state. It is the type species of Nectriopsis, a genus whose core species live on myxomycetes.
Not edible; a minute parasite of a slime mould.
