    • Figure 1. 

      Majority rule Bayesian phylogenetic tree derived from the combined ITS, LSU, SSU, MCM7, RPB1, and TEF1 DNA sequence data sets. Nodes having Bayesian inference posterior probabilities ≥ 0.95 and maximum likelihood bootstrap values ≥ 75% are shown. The tree is rooted with Pyricularia grisea M83.

      Disease symptoms, morphological characters and pathogenicity of Candidacolonium agrostis. (a) Summer patch-like disease on creeping bentgrass putting green. (b) Front and back of colony on PDA plate after 14-d incubation. (c) Hyphopodia. (d), (e) Creeping bentgrass top growth one month after inoculation with sterile and 13g11 inoculum, respectively. (f), (g) Creeping bentgrass roots one month after inoculation with sterile and 13g11 inoculum, respectively.

      Total mycelial growth (colony diameter, mm) of Candidacolonium agrostis (13g11 and JH1) and Magnaporthiopsis poae (Y15 and S24) isolates on PDA after 5 d of incubation in the dark at temperatures of 4, 20, 26, 29 and 37 °C. Error bars represent the mean ± standard deviation.
