Description
Coleosporiaceae is a family of parasitic rust fungi that live on other plants and cause damage and disease because they take nutrients from their host. The species in this family are typically orange or white in color and colonize trees like pine and spruce. You can see rust-like spreads of color on badly affected trees.
