Abstract We isolated an interesting fungus from dead leaves of Magnolia liliifera
collected from Chiang Mai, Thailand. The novel strain is related to Plectosphaerellaceae based on the morphology of its asexual morph and the analysis of
sequence data. Phylogenetic analyses using a combined gene analysis of LSU
and ITS sequence data showed that this strain is clustered in the same clade with
Furcasterigmium furcatum with high statistical support. The new strains produced
the asexual morph in culture which is morphologically similar to F. furcatum.
Thus, we identified this strain as the sexual morph of F. furcatum. This is the first More >
