Table 1. Fungal taxa associated with bark microsites in coffee bushes and shade trees according to an indicator species analysis.

Only taxa that were classified to genus and species are shown.

Microsite Taxon Description
CTw A: Glomerellales, Colletotrichum gigasporum Genus globally distributed, on various plants as epiphyte, saprobe, endophyte and pathogen. It has been reported on coffee (Douanla-Meli & Unger, 2017).
B: Tremellales, Bulleribasidium 11 species, some parasitize other fungi (e.g., Cladosporium sp.) (Sampaio et al., 2002).
CBr, CTh, CTl A: Hypocreales, Tolypocladium Parasites of truffle-like fungi, soil saprotrophs, plant endophytes, pathogens of insects, nematodes, rotifers (Borel et al., 1976; Yu et al., 2021).
TTw A: Chaetothyriales, Strelitziana africana Isolated from leaves of Strelitzia in South Africa (Arzanlou & Crous, 2006).
A: Capnodiales, Cladosporium Plant pathogens, fungi parasites, soil inhabitants. Spores are wind dispersed and abundant (Parbery, 1969).

A: Capnodiales, Pseudocercospora norchiensis Leaf pathogens on many economically and ecologically important plant species, including Eucalyptus and neotropical species (Pérez et al., 2013).
A: Pleosporales, Periconia Plant and occasional human pathogens, saprobes. Genus reported in cloud forest of Veracruz, Mexico (Arias Mota & Heredia Abarca, 2020).
TBr A: Xylariales, Pestalotiopsis Plant pathogens; they have been reported on coffee plants (Song et al., 2013).
