Ampelomyces quisqualis on Neoerysiphe galeopsidis

Lamium galeobdolon, Belgium, prov. Limburg, Beverlo, Vallei van de Grote Beek © Carina Van Steenwinkel; parasitising on Neoerysiphe galeopsidis (congo-red staining)

gall

septate hyphae develop inside the hyphae, conidiophores and conidia of the host fungus. Here also more of less fusiform pycnidia are formed that contain elliptic, c.4 µm long conidia. In exceptional cases conidia are formed also in seemingly mature cleistothecia.

host species include

Erysiphe alphitoides, berberidis, friesei, heraclei, necator; Golovinomyces cynoglossi, sordidus; Neoerysiphe galeopsidis; Podosphaera fusca, macrospora.

synonyms

Cicinobolus cesatii de Bary, 1870 (often misspelled as “Cicinnobolus”).

notes

pApplied in the biological control, like that of Erysiphe necator.
