      Quite a lot of this on the banks of Weir Wood Reservoir, infecting the stem and flower head of Meadowsweet.

        Hi Jimmy,

        Probably the mildew Podosphaera spiraeae.

        See this post by Chris: – http://www.fungi.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=224#p1101

        Regards,

        Mike.

          And therefore best called Podosphaera filipendulae (something I’ve just learned myself – hence my detailed response to Mike’s post)

            Thank you both, annoyingly it was the only fungus seen today at the Weir Wood Reservoir open day. Plenty of moths and birds though, including a rare immigrant moth which has probably only been seen in the UK around 10 times! :D

                  Admin obviously didn’t tell me and I will not post my suspicion here.
