Colletotrichum gossypii is a plant pathogen. This fungus is affiliated with cotton plants where it causes anthracnose. Its reproduction in the plants is asexual.[1] The conidia have only one nucleus. Before conidia germination fusion by mean of conidial anastomosis tube could happen. The conidia could germinate in media plates.[2]
