Rusts are fungal plant pathogens of the order Pucciniales causing plant fungal diseases.
Petter Adolf Karsten was a Finnish mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology".
Alternaria is a genus of Deuteromycetes fungi. All species are known as major plant pathogens. They are also common allergens in humans, growing indoors and causing hay fever or hypersensitivity reactions that sometimes lead to asthma. They are present in the human mycobiome and readily cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients.
Uromyces dianthi is a fungus species and plant pathogen infecting carnations and Euphorbia.
Uromyces euphorbiae is a fungal species and a plant pathogen infecting poinsettias.
Uromyces junci is a fungus species and plant pathogen which causes rust on various plants including (Rushes) Juncus species.
Uromyces betae is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting beet.
Puccinia recondita is a fungus species and plant pathogen belonging to the order of Pucciniales and family Pucciniaceae.
Franz Joseph Andreas Nicolaus Unger was an Austrian botanist, paleontologist and plant physiologist.
Leucocoprinus is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its best-known member is the distinctive yellow mushroom Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, which is found in plant pots and greenhouses worldwide. The type species is Leucocoprinus cepistipes. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains over 80 recognised species, however many of these species are very scarcely recorded and little known with only a small number of Leucocoprinus species which are commonly observed. The majority of the species in this genus are exclusive to tropical environments however numerous species have become a common sight in plant pots and greenhouses resulting in them becoming well known worldwide.
Uromyces pisi-sativi is a fungal species and plant pathogen. It was originally found on Pea but it is found on a wide range of host plants.
Kotlabaea is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae.
Asterina is a large genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. It was then placed in Asterinales order later. The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé in 1845.
Hans Sydow was a German mycologist and the son of mycologist and lichenologist, Paul Sydow (1851–1925).
Aecidium is a genus of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales.
Olivea is a genus of rust fungi in the family Chaconiaceae. The widespread genus contains eight species that grow on dicots, especially the tropical flowering plant family Verbenaceae.
FriedrichWilhelm Zopf was a well-known German botanist and mycologist. He dedicated to his whole life with fungal biology, particularly in classification of fungi and dye production in fungi and lichens. Besides, his textbook on fungi called “Die pilze in morphologischer, physiologischer, biologischer und systematischer beziehung ” in 1890 was also an outstanding work on the subject for many decades. The unicellular achlorophic microalgae Prototheca zopfii is named after him because of his profound suggestions and contributions to Krüger's pioneering work in Prototheca. Thus, his numerous contributions gave him a special status in mycological history.
Victor Félix Schiffner was an Austrian bryologist specializing in the study of hepatics.
Heinrich Klebahn was a German mycologist and phytopathologist.
Pucciniosira is a genus of rust fungi belonging to the family Pucciniosiraceae.
