Description
Phyllachora are plant parasites that form small, tar-like spots on leaves. These fungi create raised, black areas on their host plants, often resembling dots or lines. They typically infect tropical and subtropical plants, including grasses and trees. While phyllachora can cause leaf damage, they rarely kill their hosts outright. Their unique appearance has earned them the nickname "tar spot fungi" in some regions.
