Cedar apple rust galls on cedar producing spores
Cedar-apple rust galls in Ithaca NY, a sure sign of spring!
This amazing fungus (Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae) makes spores each spring that infect apple trees. From there, it makes new spores to reinfect cedar. Quite an evolutionary feat!

Fusarium dry rot on potatoes, a dark dry lesion
First diagnostic challenge in the new job. This sample was delivered to my mail box with zero information. Just two potatoes. Eventually figured out where they came from.
Fusarium dry rot.

Tomato leaves with late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans
Hello friends of science! I’m migrating over here from X. There, I had 3,000 followers enjoying plant pathology content! Please help me rebuild. I’ll post plant disease photos, management info, science & nature content. Kicking off with some tomato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans.
