Phyllactinia guttata
Phyllactinia guttata
Phyllactinia guttata is a powdery mildew found on Hazels (Corylus). The sexual stage (teleomorph) produces chasmothecia in the mycelium on the underside of the leaf, visible as minute spheres later in the season. These are yellow or brown when developing and black when mature. The chasmothecia appendages of Phyllactinia are straight and needle-like and swollen at the base; they are just visible under low magnification.
