Index Fungorum registration number: 813487

Colonies on PDA are fast-growing, reached ¾ th of the 9 cm plate in 10 days at 28–30 0 C, orange, reverse orange, circular, margin curled, appearance flat, smooth, concentric circles on both sides ( Figure 3j, k .). Conidiophore 11–29 μm (x̄=20) in length and 1.5–2 μm (x̄=1.6) in width, hyaline, smooth, high branching pattern ( Figure 3l .), exudates orange pigmented.

Notes: The Orbilia foliicola isolate ( MZ277276 ) from this study was 100% similar to the closest match KU715138 (identity: 520/520, gaps: 0/520).
