PHOMA sp.

"The synanamorphs and teleomorphs of Phoma have been poorly investigated thus far, except for the P. lingam complex. Few synanamorph relationships have thus far been confirmed by means of molecular techniques. Arenal et al. (2000, 2004) demonstrated P. epicoccina and Epicoccum nigrum to be synanamorphs by employing ITS sequence data, and synonymised these species after further microscopical studies."
