Description
Exobasidiales are fascinating fungi that mostly target plants, causing unique growths known as galls or swellings. Intriguingly, some species create colorful, flower-like structures on their hosts. These fungi don’t produce the usual mushrooms or toadstools but grow directly on plants, making them distinctive. They often target plants like azaleas, blueberries, and rhododendrons, altering the plant's growth pattern in noticeable ways.
