[1] This complex is widespread across the globe in subtropical and temperate regions,[2] resulting in many reported cases of crop diseases.

Throughout the 20th century, many scientists tried to develop a taxonomy and describe species for Fusarium, but they did not achieve global agreement.

Despite continuous efforts, identifying Fusarium incarnatum remained extremely difficult because of its tight association with other fungal and bacterial species.

[4] Under laboratory conditions, Fusarium incarnatum form a cotton-like fungal colony on potato dextrose agar(PDA).

FIESC usually has a morphologically similar colony to Fusarium incarnatum, with slightly different colors and textures depending on the species in the complex.

[9] With different combinations of fungal and bacteria species involved in FIESC, Fusarium incarnatum can be found in soil, plants, and animals, including humans.

[11] Fusarium incarnatum is a widespread fungal pathogen that severely impacts crop yield in many places in the world.
