Originally,  C. piceae was described as a pathogen associated with the canker disease of  Picea crassifolia in China (Pan et al. 2018). But the species was isolated from different hosts (including non-conifers) in other parts of Canada based on ITS sequence data (ON 352565, PQ 671332, PQ 671333, PQ 666762) available in GenBank.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/87A01DB9CFFB52D394804B8930E38F4E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

But combined multi-gene phylogenetic analysis clearly distinguished  C. piceicola from these two species (ML / BI = 95 / -). The new species,  C. piceicola, differs from  C. globosa (4–6.5 × 1–2 µm) and  C. pinastri (4–7 × 1–1.3 μm) by having shorter conidia and clearly lageniform or ampulliform conidiogenous cells (Hayova and Minter 2013; Li et al. 2020). The culture characteristics cannot be used for species discrimination as they are either unavailable ( C. pinastri) or different media has been used ( C. globosa). Thus,  C. piceicola is considered a novel species based on both molecular data and morphological characteristics.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0E5E70CD2F4656B68837A111A55E8EFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
