Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Taxobox

Allocordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungus in the order Hypocreales that parasitizes carpenter ants.[1][2] The fossil of Allocordyceps represents the oldest known fossil of an ant-parasitizing fungus before Ophiocordyceps. The only species within this genus is Allocordyceps baltica.[3][4]

Description

Allocordyceps is characterized by its ascoma being an orange color, stalked and cusp shaped. It also has a pair of partially immersed perithecia that emerges from its rectum. When parasitized by Allocordyceps, separate stromata with separate mycelium emerge from a carpenter ant's neck and abdomen.[4]
