Summary of characteristics of the four marker datasets used to conduct molecular phylogenetic analyses. All analyses were run from datasets consisting of the living cultures of Colletotrichum strains, as listed in Table 1.

PHI tests for recombination1
All C. caudatum s.l. isolates	YES	NO	YES	YES
	p = 0.0086	p = 0.2487	p = 0	p = 0
C. caudatum s.l. isolates, excluding incongruent taxa2		NO	NO	NO
	YES	p = 1.0	p = 1.0	p = 1.0
	p = 0.0055
Delta score3	0.164	0.067	0.188	0.256
Q-residual score3	0.022	0.005	0.08	0.122

¹Pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test performed using a dataset composed of Colletotrichum in the Caudatum subaggregate: C. alcornii, C. baltimorense, C. caudatum, C. somersetense, C. zoysiae, and isolates CBS112172 and MAFF 305700.

²Incongruent taxa = CBS113172 and NY07-CC04.

³Where delta score and Q-residual score=0 when distances between taxa exactly fit a tree. Scores ranging from 0 (tree-like) to 1 (non-tree-like).
