Podosphaera fusca is a fungus that parasitically infects plants (a phytopathogen ). It is one cause of powdery mildew in melons and gourds .[ 1]
Some sources suggest that P. fusca should be considered synonymous with P. xanthii ,[ 1] while others maintain they are separate species in the subsection Magnicellulata of the section Sphaerotheca of the genus Podosphaera , as of 2011[update] , based on the size of chasmothecia , and on the thin-walled portion of the asci (oculus).[ 2]
