Description
Exobasidiaceae is a group of fungi known for their parasitic lifestyle, primarily infecting the leaves of plants in the Ericaceae family. They can cause significant growth alterations, such as swelling or distortion of plant tissues. Interestingly, exobasidiaceae often induce strikingly colorful galls or lesions on their host plants, making them noticeable in nature. Unlike many fungi, exobasidiaceae produce a type of spore that emerges directly from the surface of their host rather than forming traditional fruiting bodies.
