Description
Synchytrium are microscopic parasites that infect plants. They form small, colorful wart-like growths on their hosts. These organisms have a unique life cycle involving swimming spores that can spread through water. Some species can cause significant crop damage. Synchytrium lack traditional fungal structures like hyphae, instead living entirely within host cells.
