Description

Mycosphaerella is a diverse group of plant-infecting fungi. Many species cause leaf spot diseases in crops and trees worldwide. They produce tiny, dark structures called pseudothecia on infected leaves. Some mycosphaerella species can survive on dead plant material, allowing them to persist between growing seasons. Their spores are typically spread by wind and rain.
