The objectives of our work are to identify this fungus and verify its pathogenicity. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was sequenced and the pathogenicity test was performed on apples of Gala and Fuji cultivars. The fungal colonies were formed only incubate around 10??C and colony growth stopped in high temperatures. Blast results of ITS sequence with Genbank confirmed that this fungus is Athelia species and formed disease in both apple cultivars. This is the first report of Athelia sp. causing post-harvest rot in apples in Brazil. The results of this work are fundamental to select a correct management strategy aiming to reduce losses by post-harvest rots.  aAtheliaceae  aBasidiomycetes  aFibularhizoctonia psychrophile  aMalus domestica1 aMONTEIRO, F.
