Insolibasidium deformans is a species of fungus belonging to the order Platygloeales.[1] It is currently the only species in the monotypic genus Insolibasidium. The fungus parasitizes leaves of various Lonicera species, causing honeysuckle leaf blight, a commercially significant disease in plant nurseries.[2]
The known hosts for Insolibasidium deformans include at least 18 species of Lonicera.[3] The fungus parasitizes host leaves, producing hyphae within the leaf tissues and basidia that protrude through the stomata. Microscopically, the basidia are auricularioid (tubular with lateral septa).[3] Infected leaves become yellow, then brown, and finally dead and dry with brown areas. Leaves often become rolled and twisted and drop prematurely.[2]
The species is native to North America[3] and has been introduced into the UK where honeysuckle leaf blight was first observed in 2000 [4] and into Australia, where the disease was first observed in 2003.[5] It has also been recorded from Germany,[6] Poland,[7] and New Zealand.[8]
