Importance and distribution
Species of Antennulariella are foliar epiphytes living as sooty moulds on insect exudates. They do not attack the plant directly, but their growth can reduce plant vigor by restricting photosynthesis (Chomnunti et al. 2014). Antennulariella comprises five species known on five plant families Aquifoliaceae, Fagaceae, Pittosporaceae, Plantaginaceae and Sapotaceae. Antennulariella has been reported from Asia (Russia), Australia (New South Wales), Europe (Switzerland, United Kingdom) and South America (Brazil).
