Exobasidium pachysporum is a parasitic fungus that infects host plants, causing distinctive gall-like deformations on leaves and stems. It inhabits temperate regions where its specific host plants occur, typically in moist woodland environments. The fungus completes its life cycle within living plant tissue, producing spores on distorted host surfaces.
