“…Oncobasidium theobromae does not cluster with Thanatephorus, but it is closely allied to Ceratobasidium AG 0 s A, Bo, and K, leading us to conclude that Ot is a unique species of Ceratobasidium. This is further supported by the presence of binucleate hyphal cells (Talbot & Keane 1971;Roberts 1999), a characteristic that defines Ceratobasidium (Gonzalez et al 2001 For descriptions of this species see Talbot & Keane (1971) and Roberts (1999, as Thanatephorus).…”
