Kang et al. (2010).

Notes.

Scytalidium sphaerosporum was initially isolated from wood chips of pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) in Sweden ( Kang et al. 2010). Scytalidium sphaerosporum is phylogenetically closely related to S. chlamydosporum and S. cuboideum (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). However, the distinctions between S. sphaerosporum and S. chlamydosporum are provided in the notes for S. chlamydosporum , while the distinctions between S. sphaerosporum and S. cuboideum are provided in the notes for S. cuboideum .

Scytalidium sphaerosporum is commonly found in wood chips of both coniferous and broad-leaved trees, as well as in preservative-treated timber, and has no pathogenic relationship with Ganoderma ( Kang et al. 2010; Goh et al. 2015).
