Entyloma ficariae is a plant-parasitic smut fungus in the order Entylomatales that infects Ficaria species (lesser celandine) in the family Ranunculaceae. It causes intracellular leaf infections, producing sori filled with spores within host tissue without erupting to the surface. Smut fungi like this species are obligate biotrophic parasites, dependent entirely on living host plant tissue.
