puccinia
Puccinia is a genus of rust fungi that parasitizes plants, causing reddish-brown pustules on leaves and stems.
These fungi are major agricultural pests, responsible for wheat rust and other crop diseases that have devastated harvests throughout history.
The puccinia infection spread through the entire wheat field.
