Venturia (fungus)

Venturia is a genus of fungi in the family Venturiaceae. First identified in 1882, species in the genus are plant pathogens. Venturia is widespread and the genus contains an estimated 58 species, or 130 species. Anamorphs were historically represented in the genus Fusicladium.
The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Syll. Fung. vol.1 on page 586 in 1882.
The genus name of Venturia is in honour of Carlo Antonio Maria Venturi, who was an Italian mycologist.
