Graphium is a genus of fungi in the family Microascaceae.[2] Historically, Graphium was used for hyphomycetes with erect, black synnemata (i.e. bundles of spore-producing conidiophores) bearing a single, terminal, ball of one-celled, hyaline conidia produced from annellides. More than 100 species were described following that general concept before the diversity of sexual states and DNA phylogenies led to reclassification of most species. The approximately 20 species remaining in the modern genus are assumed to be minor plant pathogens on trees. Most species reported in soil, plant debris, woody substrates, manure, and polluted water are now classified in other genera such as Parascedosporium or Ophiostoma.[3]
