massive infection

some sporangia

infected hyphae and conidiophore

Berberis aquifolium, Nieuwendam, parasitising on Erysiphe berberidis

conidia are discharged

the infestation was so strong that also here the mycelium had got a brownish hue.

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.
