Acremonium isabellae is a species of fungus in the genus Acremonium.[1] It was discovered at Rowlands Creek near Uki in NE New South Wales in 2023 on the body of a dead spider being consumed by an entomopathogenic fungi. Citizen scientist Isabella Teal discovered the fungus while collecting samples of spider-eating fungi with her father[2][3] and it was subsequently named after her. It was first described along with other microfungi in the 11 September 2023, Index of Australian Fungi.[4] The sample on which this fungus was identified can be seen arriving at the lab in the 2024 documentary Follow the Rain.[5]
