Fungi
A fungus (plural, : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of Eukaryote, eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and Mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a Kingdom (biology), kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of motility, mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leucostoma Persoonii
''Leucostoma persoonii'' is a plant pathogen, which causes perennial canker (also referred to as Cytospora canker and Valsa canker or Leucostoma canker Leucostoma canker is a fungal disease that can kill stone fruit (''Prunus'' spp.). The disease is caused by the plant pathogens ''Leucostoma persoonii'' and ''Leucostoma cinctum'' (teleomorph) and ''Cytospora leucostoma'' and ''Cytospora cincta'' ...).

Leucostoma Kunzei
The plant pathogenic fungus ''Leucostoma kunzei'' (formerly ''Valsa kunzei'') is the causal agent of Leucostoma canker (also known as Cytospora canker or spruce canker), a disease of spruce trees found in the Northern Hemisphere, predominantly on Norway spruce (''Picea abies'') and Colorado blue spruce (''Picea pungens''). This disease is one of the most common and detrimental stem diseases of ''Picea'' species in the northeastern United States, yet it also affects other coniferous species. Rarely does it kill its host tree; however, the disease does disfigure by killing host branches and causing resin exudation from perennial lesions on branches or trunks.Sinclair, W.A., H.H.
