Although the fungus Zygophiala wisconsinensis is a prominent component of the sooty blotch and flyspeck (SBFS) disease complex of apple, few studies have characterized in situ morphological adaptations of this or other SBFS species that accompany colonization of the epicuticular wax layer of fruit. Scanning electron microscope was used to monitor stages in the formation of sclerotium-like bodies on the wax surface, as well as ramifications from these structures to form secondary sclerotium-like bodies. At a mature stage in the formation of sclerotium-like bodies, the matrix of hyphae, conidiophores, and conidia between these bodies collapsed, resulting in formation of the independent clusters of typical colonies of species in the flyspeck mycelial type. Formation of conidiophores and secondary conidia in situ were also described for the first time for any flyspeck species.
