Pestalotia funerea Desm. 1843

Birch (1937b) listed it as a facultative parasite causing damping-off of seedlings. He stated that it had been isolated from living seeds of Cupressus ntacrocarpa and Agathis australis. He also noted that it caused stem and branch lesions on cypress trees of all ages. Gilmour (1966a) considered it a weak parasite of seedlings and suggested that it is a secondary invader to the damping-off fungi.

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata acervular, scattered or gregarious, subepidermal be-coming erumpent, globose to depressed globose, black, 0.1–0.3 mm in diameter; on both sides of leaves and on succulent stems of young seedlings. Conidia fusiform, straight, 4-septate, 21–29 × 7–10 μm, apical and basal cells hyaline, intermediate cells olivaceous brown; apical cell bearing a crest of 3–6 tubular, hyaline flexuous appendages 5–20 μm long; basal cell with a straight, hyaline, centric appendage, 2–7 μm long.
Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wanganui, Wellington, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Nelson, Buller, Mid Canterbury.; 1st Record: Birch (1933: as Pestalozzia funerea).
Significance: A very common saprobe on conifers; pathogenicity doubtful. Recorded as a facultative parasite causing damping-off of seedlings (Birch 1937) and as a secondary invader of damaged tissue (Beresford & Mulholland 1982).; Host(s): Agathis australis, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Cryptomeria japonica, ×Cupressocyparis leylandii, Cupressus lusitanica, C. macrocarpa, C. sempervirens, Libocedrus plumosa, Pinus radiata, Platycladus orientalis, Thuja plicata.
