In October 2017, Magnolia compressa , an endangered species in Korea, was found to be heavily infected with a powdery mildew. Morphological examination of anamorph structures and molecular analyses of the ITS and 28S rDNA regions confirmed Erysiphe magnifica as the fungus causing the mildew. The host range of E . magnifica has been limited to Magnolia species, with an occasional record of infection on Nelumbo nucifera . This report presents the first finding of E . magnifica infection on M . compressa worldwide.
