Nectria cinnabarina (Tode) Fr. 1849

Cunningham (1925a) recorded coral spot as a wound parasite on fruit trees, broom, elm, horsechestnut, maple, mulberry, oak, and silver birch. Dingley (1951) stated that it is common in New Zealand south of the Auckland Province. Its host range would suggest that it is an introduced species, as it occurs commonly on introduced cultigens. It is of minor economic importance.

Nectria cinnabarina (Tode) Fr. 1849

Type: Corticolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata stromatic, perithecial, aggregated in clusters of up to 15, superficial, globose, reddish brown to vermilion, warty, 0.2–0.4 mm in diameter, ostiole surrounded by a darker zone, non-papillate, superficial, on an erumpent stroma 1–3 mm in diameter; on stems. Asci cylindrical to clavate, 45–90 × 6–12 μm. Ascospores elliptical, usually slightly curved, 1-septate, 14–17 × 3–6 μm, smooth, hyaline. Conidia oblong-elliptical to cylindrical, 0-septate, 5–10 × 2–3 μm, smooth, hyaline but bright coral red to orange in mass.
Distribution: Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Nelson, Mid Canterbury, Central Otago, Otago Lakes, Dunedin, Southland.; 1st Record: Kirk (1905).
Significance: This very common fungus is a wound parasite causing a disease of fruit trees known as ‘coral spot’, from the bright coral red colour of conidial masses. It usually becomes established in dead branch stubs and invades uninjured tissue, causing branch dieback (Atkinson 1971). It is of minor importance. In forestry the fungus has been found on Pinus radiata seedlings damaged by insects or by cattle, but it generally causes little mortality. It has been frequently reported on broom, a common weed in young tree plantations.; Host(s): Abutilon sp., Acer sp., Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, Cytisus scoparius, Juglans regia, Laburnum sp., Malus ×domestica, Morus nigra, Pinus radiata, Prunus armeniaca, P. avium, P. ×domestica, P. dulcis, P. persica, P. persica var. nucipersica, Pyrus communis, Quercus robur, Ribes nigrum, R. rubrum, R. sanguineum, Rosa sp., Sophora microphylla, Ulmus sp.
