Strasseria geniculata (Berk. & Broome) Höhn. 1919

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata stromatic, gregarious, immersed, globose to subglobose, dark brown to black, ostiolate, 0.06–0.3 mm in diameter; on dead and dying needles. Conidia allantoid, 0-septate, 10–14 × 3–4 μm, hyaline; with a filiform, 10–15 μm long, hyaline, basal appendage which is often inserted obliquely.
Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Rangitikei, Wanganui, Wellington, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa, Nelson, Buller, Westland, Marlborough Sounds, Marlborough, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Dunedin, Southland.; 1st Record: Gadgil & Dick (2000a).
Significance: Nag Raj (1993) recorded the association of this fungus with branch and twig cankers and necrotic needles of Abies, Picea, and Pinus species in Canada. It does not appear to act as a pathogen in New Zealand although it is very common as an endophyte in P. radiata needles. In Tasmania it has been recorded as a secondary invader of needles of P. radiata trees suffering from spring needle-cast (Podger & Wardlaw 1990).; Host(s): Pinus radiata.
