(Please quote this in any queries about this record)
State: Infection
Record Summary: Yellow leaf spots on Primrose leaves (with white mycelium on underside)
Associated organism: on underside live leaf of Primula vulgaris
Identification Notes: Yellow leaf spots lacking discrete margins, above extensive white mycelium on leaf under surface.

Conidiophores: hyaline, zig-zag, with evident attachment scars.

Conidia; hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoid, 9-20/5-8µm. with cicatrised scar.

The brown flecks on the leaf-spot upper surface appear to be necrotic plant pigment masses rather than anything fungal.
