Eocronartium muscicola is a species of fungus belonging to the order Platygloeales. It is currently the only species in the monotypic genus Eocronartium.[1][2] In the UK its recommended English name is moss rust.[3] The species forms clavarioid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on mosses, on which it is parasitic.[4]
At least 21 moss species, all in the subclass Bryidae, are recorded as hosts for Eocronartium muscicola.[5] The fungus parasitizes its host through its gametophytic transfer cells.[4] The species appears to be widespread, with most reports from Europe, North and South America.[6]
