Pucciniastrum is a group of rust fungi that infects various plants, including trees and shrubs. These microscopic parasites form orange or brown pustules on leaves, causing damage to their hosts. Some species can alternate between two different plant hosts to complete their life cycle. Pucciniastrum can have significant economic impacts on forestry and agriculture in affected regions.
