Description

Anthracoideaceae are plant parasites that infect grasses and sedges. They produce dark, powdery spores that replace the host's seeds or flowers, giving infected plants a charred appearance. Some species in this group can cause significant crop losses in cereals. Anthracoideaceae have a complex life cycle involving multiple spore stages and often require specific environmental conditions to complete their development.
