Bluebell Rust

The Bluebell Rust (Uromyces muscari) is a species in the genus Uromyces. This species has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. As a fungal pathogen, it is associated with plants in the genus Muscari.

Uromyces junci is a rust fungus that parasitizes rushes (Juncus species), causing orange-brown pustular lesions on stems and leaves of its host plants in wetland and waterside habitats. This obligate biotroph depends entirely on living host tissue to complete its life cycle. It is distributed across temperate regions of Europe and beyond, wherever suitable Juncus hosts occur in moist environments.
