FUNGAL DISEASES Fungal diseases are the most common type of disease in vegetables. Fungi don’t contain chlorophyll and can’t produce their own food using photosynthesis, so they get their nutrients from other living things. Fungi are made up narrow web-like strands called hyphae, which release enzymes and absorb food. Most fungi feed on dead and decaying matter, and are beneficial to gardeners as they aid in the decomposition of matter, returning minerals and nutrients to the soil. Some fungal infections are actually a good thing – mycorrhizal fungi infect the roots of many plants, forming a symbiotic relationship with the plant that actually helps the plant absorb nutrients – especially phosphorus – and withstand drought. Some fungi are destructive in the garden, however. Common fungal diseases in plants include blights, botrytis, clubroot, damping off, leaf and pod spots, mildews, and wilts. Blights thrive in warm, wet weather and may affect vegetable crops such as potatoes and tomat
