Tilletia menieri on Phalaris arundinaceae (rietgras). Surprisingly smelly smut fungus with good looking spores. Near Tiel, the Netherlands. #wildplantdisease

Telia of Puccinia chrysosplenii (goudveilroest) on Chrysosplenium oppositifolium (paarbladig goudveil), near Nijmegen. Have been looking for this species for some time. Glad that @NielsEimers discovered it a few weeks ago. #rustfungi #wildplantdisease

Mycocentrospora acerina on Impatiens glandulifera. Found in a wet and shady riparian forest along the Oude Maas, south of Rotterdam. #wildplantdisease

Endoconospora cerastii (I think) on Cerastium vulgare near Ede (NL). Thought for a moment that I found Phacellium alborosellum, but this looks very different under the microscope. #wildplantdisease

Another smut fungus; Rhamphospora nymphaeae in the leaves of a waterlily in a garden pond. Neat colorless spores that look like little eggs. #smutfungus #wildplantdisease

#Rust on wood spurge #Euphorbia amygdaloides transformed in pseudoflowers, caused by #Endophyllum euphorbiae-silvaticae, here with Mycodiplosis sp. larvae feeding on aecia (Buillon, FR). Nice specimen giving off a strong smell of mock-orange. 🤩 #Wildflowerhour #WildPlantDisease

Moschatel (Adoxa moschatellina), also called Town Hall Clock, it's a perfect, architectural cube of flowers with a single flower on each face. Some leaves were grossly distorted by the rust, Puccinia adoxae. Host specific only to Moshatel! # #WildPlantDisease

A Nettle leaf petiole infected with Nettle Clustercup Rust, Puccinia urticata, making it look a bit like an orange tentacle. #WildflowerHour #WildPlantDisease

Seen at RSPB Minsmere, I think this is Wheat Leaf Rust, Puccinia triticina, on the leaves of its alternate host, Common Meadow-rue, Thalictrum flavum. #WildflowerHour #WildPlantDisease

Lots of Witches Broom in one of our tress - think it is a Horn Beam. A bit if research indicated that it might then be ascomycete fungus Taphrina carpini. The rust on Dock leaves is probably Puccinia phragmitis #WildPlantDisease #wildflowerhour

According tothe swelling & curling of the Goosegrass leaves is caused by the mite Cecidophyes rouhollahi. Fromthe bright orange Meadowsweet Rust Fungus is Triphragmium ulmariae #WildPlantDisease #wildflowerhour

Telia van Aspergeroest (Puccinia asparagi) op Asperge (Asparagus officinalis). Net over de grens in Duitsland tussen de rivierduinen van de Wisseler Dünen. In Nederland wordt deze roest zelden gezien. #wildplantdisease
December 25, 2024 at 9:17 PM
Heelblaadjes-rusroest (Uromyces junci) op Paddenrus (Juncus subnodulosus). Dit zijn de teliosporen. Gisteren gevonden in de Middelduinen bij Ouddorp. In Nederland is dit vooral een soort van de kust; https://www.verspreidingsatlas.nl/2022150
#wildplantdisease
December 25, 2024 at 9:22 PM
Telia van Speenkruidroest (Uromyces ficariae) op Speenkruid (Ficaria verna). Deze roest doet niet aan waardwisseling, de sporen die nu gevormd worden moeten overleven tot volgend jaar het Speenkruid weer terug is. #WildPlantDisease
December 25, 2024 at 9:28 PM
De oranje telia van Meidoorn-jeneverbesroest (Gymnosporangium clavariiforme) verschijnen weer uit de stammen en takken van de Jeneverbessen (Juniperus communis), hier bij de Junner Koelanden. Hierna infecteert de roest Meidoorn (Crataegus sp.). #WildPlantDisease

Korensla (Arnoseris minima) met Korenslabrand (Entyloma arnoseridis). Korensla is de afgelopen eeuw sterk achteruit gegaan en vind je nu vrijwel alleen in akkerreservaatjes. De bijbehorende brandschimmel dus ook. Hier op de Laarserberg. #WildPlantDisease
December 25, 2024 at 9:28 PM
De roest Milesina murariae op Muurvaren (Asplenium ruta-muraria). Vandaag gevonden tijdens een wandelingetje in Wageningen. Afgelopen week waren er ook al vondsten van deze soort in Arnhem. Verder is er weinig bekend over het voorkomen in Nederland. #WildPlantDisease #rust
