Corallomycetella
Corallomycetella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. Species of "Corallomycetella" are tropical, and are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs of their rhizostilbella-like asexual morphs. These fungi causes a number of plant diseases including 'violet root rot' of "Theobroma cacao", root rot of "Carica papaya", and 'stinking root disease' of several tropical woody plants. Two species of "Corallomycetella" are recognized: "Corallomycetella elegans" (Berk. and M.A. Curtis) C. Herrera & P. Chaverri and "Corallomycetella repens" (Berk. & Broome) Rossman & Samuels. "Corallomycetella jatrophae" is now classified under "Corallonectria".
