Description
Gaeumannomyces is a group of plant-attacking fungi that primarily infect grasses, including important crops like wheat and rice. They cause a disease known as "take-all," which can lead to significant yield losses. These fungi colonize plant roots, causing them to darken and rot. Some species in this group can survive in soil for extended periods, making them challenging to control.
