Description
Sphaerellopsis is a group of tiny fungi that live as parasites on rust fungi, which are themselves plant pathogens. These microscopic organisms are known as hyperparasites, meaning they parasitize other parasites. They form small, dark structures called pycnidia on the surface of rust pustules. Sphaerellopsis plays a role in the complex ecological interactions within plant disease systems.
