Key Identification Features
- vaccinii in host plants are often distinct from those caused by other Exobasidium species, and traditional identification of Exobasidium species has relied on comparing spore size.
- vaccinii are musiform (banana-shaped), with a rounded apex and a distinct hilar region at the base of the spore.
- vaccinii in Hawaii was later found to be infected by a distinct species, Exobasidium darwinii, rather than E.
