Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales. Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as the signs of the causal pathogen are quite distinctive.
Rhizoctonia solani sensu lato causes a wide range of commercially significant plant diseases. It is one of the fungi responsible for brown patch (a turfgrass disease), damping off (e.g. in soybean seedlings), [10] black scurf of potatoes, [11] bare patch of cereals, [12] root rot of sugar beet, [13] belly rot of cucumber, [14] banded leaf and sheath blight in maize, [15] sheath blight of rice ...
Armillaria mellea, commonly known as honey fungus, is an edible basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species.

When the smut invades the host plant it causes hypertrophy – the host's cells increase in size and number. (The fungus also destroys the flowering structures of the plant, so it does not make seed, but the plants can still be propagated asexually by rhizome.) In an environment such as a rice paddy, new sprouts of wild rice are easily infected ...
Epicoccum nigrum (1825) is a fungus with no known teleomorph form. [1] It has been classified as a member of the Hyphomycetes, [2] in the Deuteromycota, as well as the Fungi Imperfecti because it is only known to reproduce asexually. Despite that it is not yeast-like, it has been included in the broad, unrelated category of fungi known as black ...
Nigrospora sphaerica is an airborne filamentous fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It is found in soil, air, and plants as a leaf pathogen. [2] It can occur as an endophyte where it produces antiviral and antifungal secondary metabolites. [3] Sporulation of N. sphaerica causes its initial white coloured colonies to rapidly turn black.

Xylaria hypoxylon is a species of bioluminescent fungus in the family Xylariaceae. [NB 1] It is known by a variety of common names, such as the candlestick fungus, the candlesnuff fungus, carbon antlers, [2] or the stag's horn fungus. [3]
