| 英文描述 | Mitchell grass (ASTREBLA spp.) is a common pasture grass in Australia. The fungus CORALLOCYTOSTROMA can produce stromata (which appear as hard, dry, white coral-like structures 0.5-2.5 cm in diameter) that are attached to the Mitchell grass (pictured by Jubb et al.). Cattle grazing infected grass can develop blindness and rapid progression to death or a less severe syndrome of depression, weakness, and illtrift. Know as 'black soil blindness' in affected areas. The mild form of this disease, without blindness, was experimentally reproduced (Jubb et al.). |
