     In my garden two shrubs of Hibiscus (15 to 20 years old) did not survive the winter season. Today I observed lots of orange dots down to the roots that turned out to be conidiocarps of a Fusarium species. The last service I try to give to these beloved flowers  is to give their hangman a name. ;-)

Typical conidia show 3 septa but 0-4 septa were observed as well.

                hello Martin
others with greater knowledge may contradict me, but my experience is that Fusarium is a 'culture or sequence' genus - easy to recognise at the generic level but impossible to name on macroscopic and microscopic information of field characters alone, unfortunately

                Hi Martin & Chris
I made the same experience :-(
http://www.ascofrance.fr/search_forum/11579?
But you have the opportunity to await the teleomorph if any exists. Or did you remove the shrubs?
We have here also Hibiscus shrubs in gardens which look rather ill. I will have a look.
Are these Fusarium species really polyphagous? Or does the host help in the identification?

I would like to study and sequence your Fusarium, could you please to send me a part of your collection?
a lot of thanks

here are molecular data of Fusarium on Hibiscus, no doubt, that is Gibberella pulicaris.

                Dear Christian,
thank you very much for your efforts!
I have but a problem with your result. When I run a BLAST at GenBank with your sequence CLL12012_ITS4 the best match showing up is F. merismoides (not even fitting macroscopically to my find).
Is this due to the fact you choose ITS4 (no entry for Fusarium at GenBank features it) I cant't comprehend your result? I have to learn very much in this field!
curiously,
Martin

                Sorry dear Martin,
I made a mistake about sequence, the one I have posted is not from your specimen but it is a Dialonectriaa.
I attach the correct sequence.
excuse me,

Christian

                Thank you Christian,
that explains a lot! So the name of my Hibiscus killer will be Fusarium sambucinum... ;-)
No, I learned meanwhile that last winter many shrubs died due to frost and those Fusarium fungi just entered the dead or dying plants.
