Chrysomyxa ledicola Lagerh. is a plant pathogen that causes the plant disease known as large-spored spruce-Labrador tea rust. This pathogen infects five plant species: white spruce, black spruce, Sitka spruce, Engelmann spruce, and Labrador-tea. It was also the source of the orange organic material, nicknamed "orange goo", that covered the Iñupiat village of Kivalina, Alaska during the summer of 2011.
