Macrodiplodiopsis desmazieresii on Platanus occidentalis
Ethan Crenson, 04-03-2019 06:04
In Brooklyn, New York.  I believe I have found Macrodiplodiopsis desmazieresii on a fallen branch of Platanus occidentalis in my neighborhood.  There are tiny pustules beneath the bark which contain large, thick-walled, brown conidia that are 3-septate and enveloped in a mucoid (?) sheathe.  Conidia are 44.5-52 x 17.3-19.8µm.  The branch was lying at the base of a large Platanus occidentalis--the only one in the area. The neighborhood is otherwise heavily populated by Platanus x acerifolia, so I suppose it is possible that the branch was from one of those trees.  Has M. desmazieresii been recorded on Platanus occidentalis?  Is my identification correct?

Thank you!

Re : Macrodiplodiopsis desmazieresii on Platanus occidentalis
Hi Ethan,

your identification is correct. Platanus occidentalis is also the host of M. desmazieri.
You can find some records here:

Thank you very much.  I can't believe I did not know about the existence of that database!
