AI-generated description

Coleosporium tussilaginis is a rust fungus that infects plants in the Asteraceae family, particularly Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara). In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it has been found to be widely distributed, with reports of its presence in various regions, including urban and natural areas. The fungus typically forms orange to yellow spore masses on the underside of infected leaves, causing damage to the host plant. It is considered a common species in the region, with frequent observations during field surveys and studies on fungal diversity.

AI-generated summary of observations

Observations in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia revealed the presence of Coleosporium tussilaginis on coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) leaves. On Lenin Trail near Dibuny, urediniospores of the non-galling rust fungus were found on the leaves of coltsfoot in late July 2024. The urediniospores were orange in color and located on the underside of the leaves. This suggests that Coleosporium tussilaginis is actively infecting coltsfoot in this region during the summer months. The fungus appears to be thriving in the area, with noticeable spore production on infected leaves. The observations highlight the presence of this rust fungus in north-western Russia, specifically in Leningrad Oblast, and provide insight into its life cycle and host plant interactions.
