Verticillium zaregamsianum explained

Verticillium zaregamsianum is a fungus often found in lettuce in Japan. It can cause verticillium wilt in some plant species. It produces yellow-pigmented hyphae and microsclerotia, while producing few chlamydospores and with sparse resting mycelium. It is most closely related to V. tricorpus.^[1]
