Crous et al. (2022).

Notes.

Scytalidium philadelphianum was initially isolated from compressed air in a factory located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA ( Crous et al. 2022). Scytalidium philadelphianum is phylogenetically closely related to S. auriculariicola and S. lignicola (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). The distinctions between S. philadelphianum and S. auriculariicola are provided in the notes for S. auriculariicola , while the distinctions between S. philadelphianum and S. lignicola are provided in the notes for S. lignicola . Notably, Ringhofer et al. (2025) obtained the strain UTHSCSA DI 24-300 from urine and intervertebral disc aspirate cultures of a 3 - year-old male Belgian Malinois presenting with progressive hindlimb weakness. The isolate was identified as S. philadelphianum based on 100 % similarity of its ITS with that of ex-type strain CPC 40793 .
