| Note： |
The Pestalotiopsis genus is characterized by stromatic sporulating apparatus in natural habitat, however, producing sporodochia in culture. Also, the 5-celled cylindrical obtuse conidia apex were ornamented with short, flexible appendages, and basal cell with a single pedicel. Our isolate no matter in spore size , shape, length and number of setulae are comply with the described P. adusta and considered to be conspecific. | |||
