Spilodochium
Spilodochium Syd., Annls mycol. 25(1/2): 158 (1927).
Index Fungorum number: IF 10002; Facesoffungi number: FoF 12067, 4 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), no molecular data available.
Saprobic on host. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Sporodochia maculiformly gregarious, small, darkly colored, subcuticular stroma from the basal plane, convex-prominently erupting, usually from a few vertically arranged cells arranged in the center, often stumiformly attenuated, and in innate constancy in the cells of the epidermis. Conidia originating in the cells themselves of the basal stroma, forming short chains from time to time branched, variable, ovate, ellipsoid, piriform or angulate, continuous, rarely uniseptate, obscurely colored, and rough (adapted from Sydow 1927).
Type species: Spilodochium vernoniae Syd.
Notes: Spilodochium is characterised by small, darkly colored sporodochia, and ovate, ellipsoid, pyriform or angulate, continuous, rarely uniseptate conidia. Spilodochium is an ambiguous genus in Venturiaceae. Molecular data is lacking. Fresh collections with DNA sequence data are needed to confirm the generic placement of Spilodochium.
