Venturia is a genus of fungi in the family Venturiaceae. [1] First identified in 1882, [2] species in the genus are plant pathogens. Venturia is widespread and the genus contains an estimated 58 species, [3] or 130 species. [4] Anamorphs were historically represented in the genus Fusicladium. [3]
The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Syll. Fung. vol.1 on page 586 in 1882. [5]
The genus name of Venturia is in honour of Carlo Antonio Maria Venturi (1805–1864), who was an Italian mycologist. [6]
