Podosphaera fusca is a fungus that parasitically infects plants (a phytopathogen). It is one cause of powdery mildew in melons and gourds.[1]
Some sources suggest that P. fusca should be considered synonymous with P. xanthii,[1] while others maintain they are separate species in the Magnicellulata subsection of the Sphaerotheca section of the Podosphaera genus, as of 2011[update], based on the size of chasmothecia, and on the thin-walled portion of the asci (oculus).[2]
