Zástupci rodu neurospora (Neurospora) patří mezi druhy hub, které mají zvláštní ekologii jako spáleništní druhy a člověka provázejí po stovky let coby kontaminanty a současně patří mezi modelové druhy studované v laboratořích. I přes desítky let intenzivního výzkumu u nich ale stále neznáme některé aspekty jejich ekologie.

Members of the genus Neurospora are among the fungal species that have specific ecology as anthracophilous fungi and have accompanied mankind for hundreds of years as contaminants, while they are also studied in laboratories as model species. Even after decades of intensive research, we still do not know some aspects of their ecology.
