Erysiphaceae funguss belong to the Helotiales order in the Fungi kingdom. The broadly defined Neoerysiphe galeopsidis sensu lato infects plant species from many different genera, and may be taxonomically split into multiple distinct species in the future. For instant identification, use the iNature app — AI-powered and works offline.
Erysiphaceae is classified in the order Helotiales, class Leotiomycetes, phylum Ascomycota. Older Asian plant collections that were previously identified as Cystotheca lanestris actually belong to a phylogenetically distinct species, C.
