Peronospora conglomerata is an obligate biotrophic oomycete in the family Peronosporaceae, causing downy mildew disease on specific host plants. It forms branching sporangiophores that emerge through stomata to release sporangia dispersed by air currents. Like other downy mildews, it requires a specific host species and living tissue to complete its life cycle.

Peronospora pulveracea is an obligate oomycete pathogen causing powdery-like downy mildew on fumitory plants in the genus Fumaria. It inhabits agricultural fields, garden margins, and disturbed habitats where Fumaria weeds occur. This plant pathogen spreads via airborne sporangia during cool, humid weather conditions.
