Ustilago (scientific name: Ustilago) is a fungus belonging to the family Ustilago. The winter spore pile can parasitize the host's flower organs and other parts. When mature, it is powdery, usually dark brown to black, and also pale yellow or purple brown. Winter sporangia are nearly spherical, scattered, and produce hyphae after germination, which can produce basidiospores and can also become infected hyphas.
