Coleosporium asterum is a species of rust fungus ^[2] in the family Coleosporiaceae. ^[1] It infects species in the Asteraceae family, such as those in genus Aster and Solidago , as well as the needle pines Pinus contorta and P. banksiana . ^[2] It has been recorded on aster family species Canadanthus modestus , Eurybia conspicua , Solidago missouriensis , Symphyotrichum ciliolatum , S. laeve , ^[3] and numerous others. ^[4]

The basionym of Coleosporium asterum is Stichopsora asterum, and the fungus originally was found in 1898 on leaves of the Asteraceae species Callistephus chinensis , Aster scaber (now Doellingeria scabra ), and Aster tataricus on the island of Honshu, Japan. ^[5]
