Notes

There is some taxonomic uncertainty about Colletotrichum kahawae. The causal agent of coffee berry disease is either recognized as a separate species: C. kahawae or as a subspecies, C. kahawae subsp. kahawae. Phylogenetically close fungi not causing a disease on coffee (with multiple geographic origins and hosts) are either regarded as an undescribed group, as C. kahawae subsp. ciggaro or as C. ciggaro.
