Notes: Fusarium sporotrichioides was recently lectotypified by Crous et al. (2021), the lectotype, an original drawing by C.D. Sherbakoff is reproduced here (Fig. 68). Epitypification, however, is still pending the selection of a suitable specimen from the correct host and country.Fusarium sporotrichioides produces pyriform microconidia, which can be confused with the napiform to globose microconidia of its closest molecular and morphological sibling species F. langsethiae and F. sibiricum; and, with the globose to pyriform microconidia of the distantly related F. poae (Sambucinum clade). The presence of polyphialides distinguishes F. sporotrichioides from F. poae. This same feature and its red PDA colonies distinguishes F. sporotrichioides from F. sibiricum. Lastly, the presence of either aerial or sporodochial macroconidia and mesoconidia separates F. sporotrichioides from F. langsethiae. Unlike morphologically similar species (F. langsethiae, F. poae, and F. sibiricum), F. sporotrichioides is common in soil, in temperate and tropical climates (Leslie & Summerell 2006, Domsch et al. 2007). It has also been reported from animal feed, insects, as a human pathogen, and from mushrooms, and it is a potent mycotoxin (trichothecenes) producer (O’Donnell et al. 2012, Al-Hatmi 2016, Farr et al. 2023). Known plant hosts include over 70 genera, mostly in Poaceae, but also Sapindaceae, Apiaceae, Aquifoliaceae, Araliaceae, Arecaceae, Asteraceae, Betulaceae, Cactaceae, Cannabaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Ericaceae, Fabaceae, Iridaceae, Juncaceae, Lamiaceae, Linaceae, Lythraceae, Malvaceae, Musaceae, Nymphalidae, Pinaceae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae, Salicaceae, Sclerotiniaceae, Solanaceae, Tortricidae, Typhaceae, and Verbenaceae (Farr et al. 2023); described from Africa (Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania), Asia (Bahrain, China, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Oman, and Türkiye), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, UK, and the former Yugoslavia), North and South America (Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the USA); and Oceania (Australia, and New Zealand). However, due to inaccurate morphological determinations in published literature, host and geographic records need to be reassessed (Domsch et al. 2007)
