I was quite excited by this today – it seems to be the second global record of a Peronospora on Potentilla erecta. Peronospora potentillae-reptantis is known from some related species.

I saw my first Peronospora ficariae of the year yesterday! Look out for yellowed, downturned leaves of Lesser Celandine with branched conidiophores underneath (visible with a hand lens).

I was pleased to find this downy mildew on Knotgrass yesterday, Peronospora polygoni. This is the first Irish record. It's one of the more subtle ones.

In 2023 I painted Peronospora leaf spot of rhubarb, caused by the oomycete Peronospora jaapiana.

www.hgpenningtonart....
The painting shows a single rhubarb leaf. The leaf is covered in angular tan lesions bordered by leaf veins

We just arrived in Germany for Kleinpilztagung ("micro-fungus meeting") and I've already found something new to me - Peronospora potentillae-sterilis on Barren Strawberry. Exciting to explore a new country!

Some of the fungi and oomycetes that infect Devil's Bit Scabious - keep a look out next year! #FungiFriends #PlantPathogens
An illustration titled "Pathogens of Succisa pratensis Moench". It shows a plant of Succisa with a brown leaf spot labelled Septoria succisicola, yellow pustules labelled Synchytrium succisae, a brown flower smut Microbotrum flosculorum, a white flower smut Microbotryum succisae, a white mildew on the stem Erysiphe knautiae, and a downy mildew Peronospora violacea on the flowers which causes them to be larger, redder, and without anthers. A close-up is shown of the conidiophores of Peronospora violacea which look like small trees with spores on them.

Best find was Chris Preston's Peronospora on Ranunculus flammula, one of the undescribed ones and a rare one too

A second Irish site for Peronospora polygoni today on nice grassland managed by @donnarainey4.bsky.social
Ground disturbed by cattle is always so interesting, with a rich array of little annuals

This year I'm going to try and catch up on a number of the fascinating Downy Mildews that I've yet to see. This is Peronospora ficariae - common on Lesser Celandine leaves in Lidlington graveyard, Bedfordshire.

Per esempio, per le lattughe, ogni anno escono nuove varietà per rispondere a condizioni climatiche diverse e all'evoluzione dei ceppi di peronospora.
Per l'olivo si lavora a varietà tolleranti alla Xylella.
Qualcuno deve pagare i ricercatori e le strutture per fare questo lavoro?

Look out for the downy mildew, Peronospora ficariae on Lesser Celandine, Ficaria verna. Infected petioles elongate and the leaf edges curl under. Plants often look paler. Very noticeable when you get your eye in.

My favourite find today was this Peronospora on Trifolium striatum. Both it and its host are new to me. They were accompanied by a lovely view!

Succisa pratensis is coming into flower so it's time to look for the grey conidiophores of Peronospora violacea on deformed flowerheads (enlarged corolla and shriveled anthers). They can be up to several times the size of uninfected ones!
