Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. [2] Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots.
Curvularia is a genus of hyphomycete fungi which can be pathogens but also act as beneficial partners of many plant species. They are common in soil. [1] Most Curvularia species are found in tropical regions, though a few are found in temperate zones.
Schizophyllum commune is a species of fungus in the genus Schizophyllum.The mushroom resembles undulating waves of tightly packed corals or a loose Chinese fan. Gillies or split-gills vary from creamy yellow to pale white in colour.
The history of the Colletotrichum genus is a case study on the tension between the lumpers and splitters. [2] While the genus Colletotrichum was first proposed in 1831, [3] the exact definition of Colletotrichum and the species that belong in this genus has been in flux ever since. [4]
Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold. [1] It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus. [2] It is one of the most common fungi in the world and has a global distribution although it is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. [3]
At the time of its discovery, in 1843, this fungus was named "Penicillium sitophilum" by Montagne and "Oïdium aurantiacum" by Léveillé, [4] but it is now considered not to belong to either genus Oidium nor Penicillium.
Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous heterothallic microfungus that occurs as a saprotroph in soil, dung, and rotting vegetation. This species is very similar to Rhizopus stolonifer, but it can be distinguished by its smaller sporangia and air-dispersed sporangiospores.
C. coccodes is known for infecting potato and tomato, and is primarily a pathogen of Solanaceous plants more generally. [3] Heilmann et al., 2006 characterizes genetic varieties and their associations with particular potato hosts. [3]
