https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavicipitaceae The evolution within the Clavicipitaceae is marked by interkingdom host jumping, and the range of this large and heterogeneous fungal group spans mutualistic plant symbionts, as well as parasites of plants, insects, and other fungi.
Many of Clavicipitaceae produce alkaloids toxic to animals and humans. One of its most infamous species is Claviceps purpurea, which has historical significance as the cause of St. Anthony's fire, also known as ergotism. Ergotism is caused by ergot alkaloids, such as ergotamine and ergocristine, which are chemical derivatives of lysergic acid.
Division: Ascomycota (Aukšliagrybūnai) Class: Sordariomycetes Subclass: Hypocreomycetidae Order: Hypocreales
