Epicoccum thailandicum

Epicoccum thailandicum is a species of fungi first described in Thailand in 2017 living saprobic on grass litter - thus resulting in the specimen name.[1] This is just one of 89 different species of Epicoccum.[2] E. thailandicum is morphologically similar to Epicoccum sorghinum, but the conidial dimensions differ.[1] E. thailandicum has a differing clade in comparison to E. sorghinum, as well making it genetically distinct from this species.[1]

E. thailandicum is a pathogenic fungus[3] infecting Amomum villosum leaves[4] and as a lab contaminate can cause accumulations of pharmacodynamic compounds.[5]
