Description
Pucciniastraceae is a family of rust fungi that is so named because it grows and feeds on living plants causing a reddish rust-like growth that damages the host plant. The species in this family typically attack the leaves of deciduous trees and conifers, as well as grasses, producing characteristic spotted rust markings.
