Asterostomella Miliusae
''Asterostomella'' is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class (biology), class is unknown (''incertae sedis''), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order (biology), order. They are leaf parasites. Such as ''Asterostomella miliusae'' is found on ''Miliusa tomentosa'' plants in India as a type of 'black mildew'. It is found in South America (including Brazil and Argentina), Africa and parts of Asia. Including the Philippine Islands. Description The Coelomycetes, coelomycetous genus is characterised by brown, ovoid, aseptate Pycnidium, pycnidia (fruiting body), sometimes with a non-pigmented band in the middle. The genus is considered as a member of Asterinaceae based on its scutellate (shaped like a shield or platter), or orbicular, conidiomata (blister fruiting body) with stellate dehiscence, which is similar to ''Asterina (fungus), Asterina''. After Speg. had formed the genus in 1886. Several l ...

Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ...
