TL;DR: In this paper, the fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, a specialized parasitoid of arboreal Camponotus leonardi ants, was found under leaves, attached by their mandibles, on the northern side of saplings ∼25 cm above the soil.

TL;DR: A Taxonomic Review of the Clavicipitaceous Anamorphs Parasitizing Nematodes and Other Microinvertebrates and Processes of Species Evolution in EpichloA"/Neotyphodium Endophytes of Grasses.

Systematics and evolution of the genus Torrubiella (Hypocreales, Ascomycota).
Desiree Johnson,Gi-Ho Sung,Nigel L. Hywel-Jones,J. Jennifer Luangsa-ard,Joseph F. Bischoff,Ryan M. Kepler,Joseph W. Spatafora +6 more
TL;DR: A multi-gene phylogeny was constructed by conducting ML and Bayesian analyses that rejected the monophyly of Torrubiella, and two new genera are proposed to accommodate two separate lineages of torrubielloid fungi in the Clavicipitaceae s.

The phylogenetic placement of hypocrealean insect pathogens in the genus Polycephalomyces: an application of One Fungus One Name.
Ryan M. Kepler,Sayaka Ban,Akira Nakagiri,Joseph F. Bischoff,Nigel L. Hywel-Jones,Catherine Alisha Owensby,Joseph W. Spatafora +6 more
TL;DR: Using the recently adopted single system of nomenclature, new taxonomic combinations are proposed for these species in the genus Polycephalomyces, which has been historically reserved for asexual or anamorphic taxa.

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Cordyceps: ITS nrDNA sequence data confirm divergent lineages and paraphyly.
TL;DR: Host specificity was found to be of limited phylogenetic significance, and several host shifts are suggested to have occurred during the evolution of Cordyceps, thus making CordyCEps paraphyletic as suggested in other studies.
