13.Scytalidium sphaerosporumSigler & Kang, Mycologia 102 (5): 1179 (2010) Description and illustration. Kang et al. (2010). Notes. Scytalidium sphaerosporum was initially isolated from wood chips of pine (Pinus sylvestris) in Sweden (Kang et al. 2010). Scytalidium sphaerosporum is phylogenetically closely related to S. chlamydosporum and S. cuboideum (Figs 1, 2). However, the distinctions between S. sphaerosporum and S. chlamydosporum are provided in the notes for S. chlamydosporum, while the distinctions between S. sphaerosporum and S. cuboideum are provided in the notes for S. cuboideum. Scytalidium sphaerosporum is commonly found in wood chips of both coniferous and broad-leaved trees, as well as in preservative-treated timber, and has no pathogenic relationship with Ganoderma (Kang et al. 2010; Goh et al. 2015).
