Abstract
Capnodium berberidis, a sooty mould fungus, previously reported only from Pakistan in 1978, was recently observed on Berberis lycium in Jot Pass, district Chamba of Himachal Pradesh, India. Berberis lycium is a well-known small to medium sized spiny, woody, deciduous or evergreen medicinal and ornamental plant distributed throughout temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Disease symptoms appeared as thin, black to dark brown, easily removed superficial layer of hyphae on various parts of host plant including leaves, stem, twigs and fruits. The detailed studies on its morphology and taxonomy revealed it a sooty mould fungus Capnodium berberidis. As per literature consulted, this is the first report of Capnodium berberidis from India and probably second from world.
