Description

Taphrinomycetes comprises a unique class of fungi rather than plants. They feature simple, sac-like structures for spore development, which are crucial for their reproductive cycle. These fungi typically appear as plant pathogens, causing deformities such as leaf curling and witches' brooms, directly influenced by their interactions with their plant hosts.
