Description
Phyllachorales are plant parasites that form small, black, tar-like spots on leaves. They primarily infect tropical and subtropical plants. These fungi create a protective layer called a clypeus over their fruiting bodies. Some species can cause economic damage to crops. Phyllachorales have a complex life cycle involving both sexual and asexual stages.
