Phialophora fastigiata is a mitosporic,[1] saprophytic fungus commonly found in soil,[2] and on wood,[3] and wood-pulp.[4] This species was initially placed in the genus Cadophora but was later transferred to the genus Phialophora based on morphological and growth characteristics.[5] In culture, P. fastigiata produces olive-brown, velvety colonies.[3] The fungus is recognizable microscopically due to the presence of distinctive, funnel-shaped cuffs (collarettes) encircling the tips of phialides that bear slimy conidia.[2] The fungus is often implicated in soft-rot wood decay due to its ability to degrade lignin,[6] cellulose and pectin.[2] It has also been reported to cause blue staining of wood and wood pulp.[4]
