The popcorn disease caused by sclerotia forming fungi reduces the productivity of mulberry fruits in world\udwide. In Korea, only two species (Ciboria shiraiana and Scleromitrula shiraiana) have been reported as the\udmajor causal organisms and their morphological features are also largely unknown. Hereby, we report the\udfirst identification of another species (i.e. Ciboria carunculoides) in Korea and detailed features of their\udanamorphic stage. Fungi dominantly associated with sclerotia were purely isolated from infected mulberry\udfruits under the microscope. PCR-amplified DNA encoding 5.8S rRNA displayed 100% similarity to Ciboria\udcarunculoides. The anamorphic features exhibited the absence of true mycelia. Instead, very short, aseptated,\udbranched conidiophores were directly emerged from sclerotia. Phialides were usually three in number from\udeach conidiophore, ampuliform to navicular in shape, slightly curved and tapering towards the apex. Conidia\udwere produced from phialides and mostly found as one celled, pear shaped, not hyaline with smooth to\uduneven surface walled. Diversely modified features in phialides formed pseudo-mycelial structures around\udthe host tissue. Combined all, current study is the first report of C. carunculoides isolated in Korea and the\udforemost detailed description of its anamorph stage
