Samsoniella hepiali
Samsoniella hepiali is an entomopathogenic fungus. It was discovered in 1989 as a fungus infecting a field collection of infected Hepialus armoricanus originally presumed to be Ophiocordyceps sinensis. It is chemically and pharmacologically similar to O. sinensis, but differs significantly in terms of morphology. Later studies have also confirmed that it's genetically distinct form O. sinensis. It is known to produce cordycepin.
