Parauncinula curvispora is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found on plants in the genus Fagus in Asia.[1] It is endemic to Japan.
Description
The fungus forms effuse, evanescent mycelium on the leaves of its host. Parauncinula curvispora, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and infects only Fagus.[2]
Taxonomy
The fungus was formally described in 1915 by Hara with the basionym Uncinula septata var. curvispora. The same author raised the variety to a species four years later. The species was transferred to the current genus Parauncinula in 2005 by Takamatsu and Braun.
