Pyrenochaeta terrestris is a fungal plant pathogen that infects maize, sweet potatoes, and strawberries. [1] This plant pathogen causes a disease in onion (Allium cepa) that is commonly called pink root. [1]
As the fungus matures, a slender orange to pink colored stalk emerges that tapers evenly to a pointed tip. The stalk is covered with a foul-smelling slimy green spore mass on the upper third of its length. Flies and other insects feed upon the slime which contains the spores, assisting in their dispersal.

In many cool season grass species in North America, it is caused by the fungus Microdochium nivale. [1] The white-pink mycelium on infected leaf blades is a distinguishing characteristic of the Microdochium nivale pathogen. [2]
