Nigrospora sphaerica is an airborne filamentous fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It is found in soil, air, and plants as a leaf pathogen.^[2] It can occur as an endophyte where it produces antiviral and antifungal secondary metabolites.^[3] Sporulation of N. sphaerica causes its initial white coloured colonies to rapidly turn black.^[1] N. sphaerica is often confused with the closely related species N. oryzae due to their morphological similarities.^[4]
