Musicillium theobromae (Turconi) Zare & W. Gams 2007 - (cigar-end rot of banana)
This fungus is widely distributed in tropical and some subtropical regions. It has been originally described as a leaf pathogen of cacao, but has been more often isolated from banana flowers and fruits. Initially, the pistils of the flowers become infected and the disease further develops on the ends of the banana fruits as they grow. Infected fruits have black, rotting ends covered by greyish conidia, resembling the end of a burning cigar (cigar-end rot).
