[5] The small papillate conidiogenous cells have been visualized in many varying structure shapes including lageniform, cylindrical, terminal, sympodial, annedllidic, clavate, and even navicular.

The fungus colonizes the living roots of the common reed without causing harm, but can also be pathogenic to plants.

[8] One thing researchers have shown is the ability of the fungus to participate in niche partitioning with Microdochium bolleyi [9] on the colonized P.

Research has documented that the conidia are holoblastic in character, but the mechanics of the relationship are weakly defined in the literature.

[6] Microdochium phragmitis can't be found on cultivated plants, but it can be cultured in the lab.

[8] It also is closely related to fungal isolates obtained from salmon eggs (Verticillium dahliae, a plant pathogen).

[8] Significant research has not been completed yet as to the potential medicinal drug uses of the fungi, but it showed some cytotoxic activity in a human tumoral cell.

[12][8] Microdochium phragmitis is often used as the baseline comparison for species of similar morphology and DNA sequences, however, there are no synonyms for this fungi.
