Description
Urocystidales are plant parasites that primarily infect grasses and sedges. They form dark, powdery spore masses within host tissues, often replacing seeds or forming galls. Some species can cause significant crop damage. These fungi have a complex life cycle involving multiple spore types and can survive in soil for extended periods. Their unique spore structures aid in identification.
