Colonies Colonies on PDA attaining 69-mm after 5 days at 25 °C, fluffy, azonated, margin entire, reverse white, turn dark when older.
Conidiogenous cells Conidiogenous cells hyaline, ellipsoidal, cylindrical, 15–25 × 2–3 µm.
Conidia Conidia often produced directly from mononematous conidiophores in culture, hyaline, cylindrical, rounded at both ends, smooth, densely guttulate with a bigger one in the middle of conidia, 9–13 × 3–5 µm.
Setae Setae not observed on PDA or CMA.
Appressoria Appressoria solitary or in group, bullet-shape or irregularly lobed, 9–13 × 7–11 µm.
Note This species is a member of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex, and was reported to cause anthracnose on diverse plants. Strain 13059 shares 100% identity in ITS and ACT regions with the ex-type strain of Colletotrichum fructicola (ICMP 18581; JX010165, FJ907426).
Pathogenicity This is the first time this species has been found on rice. This species has been discovered as an endophyte on a variety of hosts (Weir et al., 2012).
