Comments: The ex-type strain of this species was reported by Hatvani et al. (2007). Strain ATCC 20898, isolated from soil in New York State, is highly unusual in producing white conidia in pustules that very slowly turn green. It was cited by Smith et al., as T. viride, for biological control of Phytophthora BCKDHB spp. (U.S. Patent 4196557, 26 Feb 1991). This species was cited by Wuczkowski et al. 2003 (as MA 3642, Trichoderma sp.). The subglobose, roughened conidia and often irregular branching pattern characterize this species. Hoyos-Carvajal et al. (2009) isolated this species from

soil in Colombia (Guajira, San Juan). There are no obvious close relatives for this species in the Longibrachiatum Clade (Druzhinina et al. 2012). Trichoderma capillare is unusual in the Longibrachiatum Clade for its branching pattern, which tends to be more random than in T. longibrachiatum, the frequent arrangement of phialides in divergent whorls, and for the roughened and broadly ellipsoidal to subglobose conidia. It differs from the somewhat distantly related T. saturnisporum in which conidia are ellipsoidal and tuberculate, the ornamentation typically appearing as blisters (Samuels et al. 1998). 4.
