- Abstract
Erysiphales (Ascomycota, Leotiomycetes), known as the powdery mildews, is an important and speciose order of fungi that infect plants. Knowledge about the species composition and distribution of these fungi within the U.S. in general, and within Indiana, is limited. In this study, we examined all historical records, including from online data aggregates and literature, as well as new and historical collections in the Kriebel Herbarium (PUL) at Purdue University, which houses one of the richest collections of plant pathogens in the state, and in the U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI), which contains the richest national collection of phytopathogenic fungi. Herein we provide an annotated checklist of all known species of powdery mildews in Indiana; names of prior records have been updated to reflect the current taxonomic classifications for the group. A total of 104 Erysiphales taxa (100 species and four infraspecies taxa) in seven genera and their host species are confirmed, including new and updated records for the state. These data should improve attempts to record the extant fungal biodiversity in Indiana as well as providing a resource for statewide plant disease diagnosticians.
