Bartalinia robillardoides is a species of fungi within the genus Bartalinia and the Sporocadaceae family. Distinguished by their unitunicate asci,[2] containing 3-4 septate, Bartalinia robillardoides species have been found in water samples and growing on medium like flowering shrubs and trees. Collections of this species have been collected in Australia and New Zealand,[3] Europe, South America and Asia. It has been identified to be both endophytic and pathogenic. This species can cause leaf spots that raise concerns to economically valuable plants.[4]
Bartalinia robillardoides, has a flask shaped fruiting body, with fusiform candida, and unitunicate asci.[5] Each ascospore has 3-4 septate,[6] differentiating itself from the Amphisphaerales order of only having 1-septate ascospores.[7] There is no known sexual morph of the species Bartalinia robillardoides. The cell walls of the fruiting structure are dark to light brown in color moving from the outside of the wall into the conidial hymenium.[8] The cell wall was measured to be 40μm thick and the conidia 10-15μm in length.[5] The conidia itself has basal and apical appendages. The basal appendage is a single, unbranched, filiform structure whereas the apical appendage is split into three divergent structures. These appendages rang from 4-7μm long[9][10]
