Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a fungus which causes anthracnose, or black spot disease, of the common bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris).It is considered a hemibiotrophic pathogen because it spends part of its infection cycle as a biotroph, living off of the host but not harming it, and the other part as a necrotroph, killing and obtaining nutrients from the host tissues.

Brown blotch disease spreads quickly on mushroom farms due to the close proximity of mushrooms and favorable conditions caused by regular irrigation. One way for P. tolaasii to spread is simply from one mushroom to another at the contact points between caps of adjacent mushrooms. This is why beginning symptoms are commonly seen on the edges of ...
The mycelium then cover this necrotic area. Once the xylem is affected, other symptoms occur higher up in the plant. These can include chlorosis, wilting, leaf drop, and death quickly follows. On fruits, the initial dark lesions occur on the tissue that comes in contact with the soil. Next, white fungal mycelium covers the fruit and it decays.

However, symptoms of infection show distinct manifestations in different plant parts: whole plant - seedling blight affects the whole plant, leaf discoloration and mycelial growth, black fungal spores and lesions appear on inflorescences and glumes, and grain covered with very dark brown to black mycelium which gives a characteristic charcoal ...
The black spots are circular with a perforated edge, and reach a diameter of 14 mm (1 ⁄ 2 inch). Badly affected plants, however, will not show the circular patterning, as they combine to cause a large, black mass. The common treatment of the disease is to remove the affected leaves and spray with antifungal solutions.
The white-pink mycelium on infected leaf blades is a distinguishing characteristic of the Microdochium nivale pathogen. [2] Fusarium patch is considered economically important in the turf grass industry because of its tendency to cause significant injury to golf greens, thereby decreasing putting surface quality. [ 3 ]
