Description

Coleosporium is a group of rust fungi that predominantly infect pine trees and flowering plants. They have a complex life cycle involving multiple stages and host plants. Many species in this group cause needle rust on pines, appearing as orange or yellow pustules on the needles. Some coleosporium species can also infect plants like asters, goldenrods, and sunflowers, causing leaf spots or rust on their foliage.
