Corallomycetella is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae.[1][2][3] Species of Corallomycetella are tropical, and are characterized by the formation of brightly colored rhizomorphs of their rhizostilbella-like asexual morphs.[2][4] These fungi causes a number of plant diseases including 'violet root rot' of Theobroma cacao, root rot of Carica papaya, and 'stinking root disease' of several tropical woody plants.[5] Two species of Corallomycetella are recognized: Corallomycetella elegans (Berk. and M.A. Curtis) C. Herrera & P. Chaverri and Corallomycetella repens (Berk. & Broome) Rossman & Samuels.[2] Corallomycetella jatrophae is now classified under Corallonectria.[2]
