Abstract
Appendiculella echinus belongs to the order Meliolales. The fungi of this group are known as black mildews. A. echinus was observed on leaves of Cecropia graziovi in the ‘Reserva Florestal da Mata do Paraíso’ in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is the first record of A. echinus on C. graziovi and the second host record for this fungus in Brazil, previously known only from Coussapoa sp.
