Albugo Mesembryanthemi
''Albugo'' is a genus of plant-parasitic oomycetes. Those are not true fungi (Eumycota), although many discussions of this organism still treat it as a fungus. The Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of this genus is incomplete, but several species are Plant pathology, plant pathogens. ''Albugo'' is one of three genera currently described in the Family (biology), family Albuginaceae, the taxonomy of many species is still in flux. This organism causes white Rust (fungus), rust or white blister diseases in above-ground plant tissues. While these organisms affect many types of plants, the destructive aspect of infection is limited to a few agricultural crops, including: beets (garden and sugar), Brussels sprouts, cabbages, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, Collard greens, collards, garden cress, kale, lettuce, Mustard plant, mustards, parsnip, radish, horseradish, rapeseed, Tragopogon, salsify (black or white), spinach, sweet potatoes, turnips, watercress, and perhaps water-spinach.

Albugo Candida
''Albugo candida'', commonly known as white rust, is a species of oomycete in the family Albuginaceae. It is sometimes called a fungus, but in fact forms part of a distinct lineage of fungus-like microorganisms, Oomycetes, commonly known as water moulds. ''A. candida'' is an obligate plant pathogen that infects Brassicaceae species and causes the disease known as white rust or white blister rust. It has a relatively smaller genome than other oomycetes. Distribution ''A. candida'' has a cosmopolitan distribution and is known from many countries where cruciferous crops are grown in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia, North, Central, and South America. It has not been recorded from northern Scandinavia, northern and central Siberia, northern China, western and central Africa, Alaska, northern and central Canada, and southern and western South America. Hosts This pathogen infects plants in the family Brassicaceae; the growth stages involved include the seedling stage, the growing st ...
