[1] Asci contain eight ovoid spores, which begin colorless, and turn dark brown as they mature.

[1] Paraphyses are colorless, aseptate and unbranched, and numerous, either equal to or exceeding the number of asci.

[6] While it is most often found on apples in the wild, under lab conditions it can cause disease on the fruits of pear, plum, quince, orange, lemon,[2] as well as turnip and parsnip.

[7] It is distributed throughout western Europe, and has also been noted in Japan, and the Pacific northwest United States.

[6] It likely infects fruit through wounds that occur during harvest,[6] as in the lab, non-wounded apples did not develop yellow rot.

[2] The excretion of the cell wall degrading enzyme pectinase allows L. corni-maris to attack fruits.

[1] It causes brown spongy lesions on apple fruits, and may also grow thick yellow mycelia.

[5] L. corni-maris displays allelopathic activity against Monilinia fructigena, which is a species that causes brown rot on apples.

[9] The antagonistic biotic environment caused by L. corni-maris may have driven genetic divergence between Japanese and European strains of M. fructigena[10].
