Ascochyta caulina - Rust fungus
Observation - Ascochyta caulina - Rust fungus - UK and Ireland. Description: This was a long ID haul for me in June last year. Seen as a bycatch in my search for Hayhurstia atri
This was a long ID haul for me in June last year. Seen as a bycatch in my search for Hayhurstia atriplicis http://www.ispotnature.org/node/809612 and Pegomya betae http://www.ispotnature.org/node/810845 - all found on Atriplex species (an upper shoreline plant).
I visited some remote areas and found only three sites supporting this.
It was, I thought, a puccinia rust but I was soon put right by Willem Ellis who has graciously accepted some of my pictures on his website
.
