Corallonectria is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.12 Species of Corallonectria are Neotropical.13 These fungi are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs and of copulated synnematous fusarium-like asexual morphs in culture.1 The asexual morph in nature has been rarely observed (e.g. a specimen collection from Panama in Mushroom Observer). The sexual fruiting bodies are furfuraceous and usually seated at the base of a reddish synnemata.13 It is a monotypic genus containing the sole species Corallonectria jatrophae.12 This species was formerly classified under Corallomycetella.1
