Colletotrichum karstii Y.L. Yang, Zuo Y. Liu, K.D. Hyde & L. Cai 2011

The fungus is widespread and causes post-harvest anthracnose on mango and necrotic leaf spots on other crops which may lead to defoliation. The fungus forms perithecia, around 100 µm large which produce ascospores, fusiform to ovoid and approximately 15 x 5 µm large. Conidia are smooth, cylindrical, aseptate and about 10-15 x 3-6 µm large.
