Fusarium langsethiae is a species of fungus in the family Nectriaceae. It is a suspected plant pathogen. [1] This species was isolated from oats, wheat and barley kernels in several European countries. It resembles Fusarium poae , from which it differs by slower growth, less aerial mycelium and absence of odour. Its turnip-shaped or spherical conidia are borne in the aerial mycelium, whereas those of F. poae are produced on straight monophialides mostly in the aerial mycelium. [2] It does not produce sporodochial conidia. [3]
