Sacc; Cladosporium spharospermeum Penzig; and Myrothecium verrucaria (Orig.). Fungi that attack the roots of the tree are A. corymbifera (Cohn.) Sacc and C. spharospermeum Penzig. M. rosea Link and M. sitophila (Mont.) Sacc attacking the leaf. R. arrhizus Fischer and M. verrucaria (Orig.) attacks the stems of trees while Mucor racemosus Fres. Attacking the fruit of mahogany. Fungi that cannot be identified are a fungus that attacks the stems and leaves. Key words: Switenia macrophylla King, Fungi
