Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Monilinia is a genus of ascomycete fungi that causes blossom blight and brown rot in fruit trees. It spreads most rapidly in cool, wet weather, particularly during the bloom period. Symptoms include flowers that turn brown and remain attached to the shoots, small tan spots on fruit that expand into gray-beige spore rings (sporodochia), twig dieback, and 'mummified' fruit that shrivels and often persists on the tree. It primarily affects stone fruits (peach, nectarine, apricot, plum, cherry) but can also infect pome fruits such as apple and pear.

Gray mold, caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most common fungal diseases in plants. It affects over 200 plant species, including ornamentals, vegetables, fruits, and houseplants. The disease thrives in cool, humid conditions with poor air circulation, causing grayish spots and soft rot on infected tissues.

Anthracnose is a fungal disease caused by fungi in the genus Colletotrichum that affects many plants, including vegetables, fruits, and trees. The disease thrives in cool, wet conditions, causing dark, sunken lesions on leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.

Root rot is a serious fungal disease that affects the root system of plants, causing them to decay and die. It is primarily caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or soil-borne fungi such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium. The disease thrives in waterlogged conditions where roots are deprived of oxygen, making them susceptible to fungal infection.
