Rhytisma acerinum Tar spot of leaves, primarily of A. pseudoplatanus
Sawadaea bicornis Powdery mildew of leaves
Stegonsporium acerophilum A weak parasite, only reported from exotic Acer species in a cultivated environment
Stegonsporium galeatum Presumably a weak pathogen, only reported from a cultivated exotic tree; possible threat to Acer pseudoplatanus
Stegonsporium opalus Apparently a weak parasite, not known from native trees
Stegonsporium protopyriforme Status unknown, a close relative of a weak pathogen. Only reported from a botanic garden and possibly introduced
Stegonsporium pseudopyriforme Status unknown, a close relative of a weak pathogen. Only reported from a botanic garden and possibly introduced
Stegonsporium pyriforme A weak pathogen causing death and dieback of Acer pseudoplatanus, especially of shaded branches
Aegopodium Mycosphaerella podagrariae Causes leaf spots
Agropyron Claviceps purpurea The ergot fungus, infecting inflorescences and forming sclerotia from modified seeds. Highly toxic
