M. Robillard et moi nous fûmes assez heureux pour faire connaître un genre et quelques espèces de phanérogames encore non décrits et que cet illustre savant publia dans ses ouvrages.'

Robillarda Sacc., Michelia 2(no. 6): 8 (1880)

MycoBank number: MB 22470; Index Fungorum number: IF 22470; Facesoffungi number: FoF 01688; 17 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 6 species with sequence data.

Type species – Robillarda sessilis (Sacc.) Sacc.

Notes – The genus was introduced by Saccardo (1880a) and have flexuous, narrow tubular, aseptate appendages and holoblastic conidiogenous cells, proliferating sympodially or percurrently near the apex (Crous et al. 2015a, Wijayawardene et al. 2016a). Robillarda species have been reported worldwide, as saprobes (Wijayawardene et al. 2017a, Farr & Rossman 2019). Most recently, Robillarda mangiferae was introduced from leaf blight on mango in Yunnan, China (Phookamsak et al. 2019).

Species of Robillarda are found from live plants and within decayed plant materials and also in soil and 38 species were listed in. In 2017, two newly found secondary metabolites or compounds; robillafuran and robillapyrone, were isolated from the culture extract of a fungal strain of Robillarda along with monascuspyrone.

This species is a  remarkable  fungus  with  conidia  bearing three long hair-like appendages. It was selected as a generic type for Robillarda, an anamorphic genus with unknown teleomorph stage.

Hosts
In 2010, Robillarda sessilis, a rare coelomycete was isolated from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings in Belarus.

Robillarda sessilis has been found on the diseased leaves of Castanea mollissima.

Distribution
It is has a cosmopolitan distribution worldwide, except for parts of Canada, and the North and South poles. It is found in Russia, China.
