Description
Magnaporthaceae are microscopic fungi that primarily inhabit plant roots and soil. Many species in this group are known for causing devastating crop diseases, particularly in rice and other cereal plants. They have specialized structures called appressoria that help them penetrate plant tissues. Some magnaporthaceae can survive in plant debris for extended periods, making them challenging to control in agricultural settings.
