Description
Raveneliaceae are plant parasites that primarily infect legumes and some other tropical plants. They form distinctive spore structures called sori, which can resemble tiny umbrellas or fans. These fungi have complex life cycles, often requiring two different host plants to complete their development. Some species in this group can cause significant damage to important crop plants.
