Eocronartium muscicola is a species of fungus belonging to the order Platygloeales. It is currently the only species in the monotypic genus Eocronartium. [1] [2] In the UK its recommended English name is moss rust. [3] The species forms clavarioid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on mosses, on which it is parasitic. [4]

At least 21 moss species, all in the subclass Bryidae, are recorded as hosts for Eocronartium muscicola. [5] The fungus parasitizes its host through its gametophytic transfer cells. [4] The species appears to be widespread, with most reports from Europe, North and South America. [6]
