The Phragmidiaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contains 14 genera and 164 species. [2]
A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. The term mycorrhiza refers to the role of the fungus in the plant's rhizosphere, its root system. Mycorrhizae play important roles in plant nutrition, soil biology, and soil chemistry.
In biological classification, a subfamily is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", and zoological subfamily names with "-inae".
The Boletales are an order of Agaricomycetes containing over 1300 species with a diverse array of fruiting body types. The boletes are the best known members of this group, and until recently, the Boletales were thought to only contain boletes. The Boletales are now known to contain distinct groups of agarics, puffballs, and other fruiting-body types.
Frommeella tormentillae is a species of rust fungus in the family Phragmidiaceae. It is a plant pathogen affecting the strawberry.
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista.
Arthuriomyces is a genus of rust fungi in the family Phragmidiaceae. The genus contains three species that are found in North America, Russia, China, and Japan. The genus is named in honor of American botanist Joseph Charles Arthur, noted for his research on rust fungi.
