Type species – Fuscohypha expansa Giraldo López & Crous

Notes – Based on the analyses of combined LSU, ITS, tef1 and rpb2 sequence data and morphological differences from Verticillium, Giraldo & Crous (2019) introduced Fuscohypha to accommodate a single species F. expansa. The genus is characterized by simple or verticillate, erect conidiophores. Conidiogenous cells are enteroblastic, monophialidic, terminal, lateral, cylindrical to subulate, hyaline, with cylindrical collarette and a conspicuous periclinal thickening at the conidiogenous locus. Conidia are subglobose or ellipsoidal, 1-celled and hyaline (Giraldo & Crous 2019).
