Type species – Summerbellia oligotrophica Giraldo López & Crous

Notes – Summerbellia was established by Giraldo & Crous (2019) with Summerbellia oligotrophica as the type species. It was introduced as the monotypic genus for a group of isolates, which clustered as a monophyletic lineage in the analyses of a combined LSU, ITS, tef1 and rpb2 dataset and previously identified as Gliocladium cibotii. This genus is characterized by erect or (sub-)erect, unbranched or poorly branched conidiophores. Chlamydospores are terminal or intercalary, mostly in chains, pale to dark brown, smooth- and thick-walled (Giraldo & Crous 2019).
