Fig. 1

Collapsed phylogenetic tree (from Additional file 3: Fig. S2) indicating the placement of every isolate previously treated as Escovopsis. The tree shown was inferred using Bayesian Inference (BI). The tree gathers all available tef1 sequences found in the literature with the data set used in this study, including the sequences of the nine Escovopsis ex-type cultures. The tree contains a total of 440 sequences which include: 274 strains of vesiculate-Escovopsis (Clade A), 105 strains of non-vesiculate Escovopsis (Clades B, C, D, E) and 60 strains from four genera, i.e., Escovopsioides, Hypomyces (along with species under its anamorphic genus Cladobotryum), Protocrea, and Trichoderma in the Hypocreaceae. Lecanicillium antillanum CBS 350.85 is used as the outgroup of the tree (see Additional file 1: Table S3 for all strains and their associated metadata used to infer this phylogenetic tree). There is only information, in the literature, on the colour of the colonies of the clades C and D, but the microscopic features of these clades are unknown. Numbers on branches indicate BI posterior probabilities (PP) and Maximum Likelihood bootstrap support values (MLB), respectively. Hyphens (--) indicate MLB < 70%
