Coniella fragariae is a plant pathogen. It is known to be pathogenic on eucalypts in a number of countries, including Brazil, India, China and Australia.[1] In 2015, Coniella fragariae was reported as the causal agent for strawberry crown rot in Latvia. [2] In 2018, the fungus was isolated from a goose dung collected in a strawberry field near the sea coast in North Germany. Inferred from the author, it should be a typical plant pathogenic fungus not coprophilous fungus. The plants, strawberry that had been eaten by geese are expected to be the true source of Coniella fragariae. [3] Chemical constitution study showed azaphilone were the main secondary metabolites from this fungus.[3][4]
