Belongs within: Pucciniaceae. Puccinia is a diverse genus of rust fungi infecting angiosperms. Species may be heteroecious or autoecious, macro- or microcyclic; teliospores are usually two-celled, more rarely one-celled or composed of several cells separated by transverse septa (Kirk et al. 2001). The genus as historically recognised is not monophyletic and many species may be… Continue reading Puccinia

Chaconiaceae
Belongs within: Pucciniomycetes. Rust waits for no spring It should not come as a surprise to anyone that rust fungi have a complicated taxonomic history. The complexities of their nightmarish life cycles are something I’ve considered elsewhere; go there if you feel the need for a refresher. There are many rust species for which the… Continue reading Chaconiaceae

Microbotryales
Belongs within: Microbotryomycetes. The Microbotryales are a group of smut fungi, previously classified with the other smuts in the Ustilaginomycetes but now recognised as a convergent subgroup of the Urediniomycetes. Characters (from Bauer et al. 2001): Intercellular parasitic hyphae or haustoria only; cellular interactions without primary interactive vesicles; type A 5S rRNA secondary structure; mannose… Continue reading Microbotryales
