During 1991-1993, the colonization of cherry fruit (Prunus avium 'Bing') by Alternaria spp., Aureobasidium pullulans. Cladosporium spp., and other fungi was detected soon after petal fall and thereafter until harvest, when 87-100% of surface-disinfested fruit yielded fungi. Taxa most frequently recovered were pathogenic to ripe, wounded fruit. Receptacular and stylar scars were frequently colonized. Histological sections of receptacle and stylar scar tissues from mature cherries revealed hyphae in walls and lumina of necrotic cells and vascular tissues.
