Smuts, of the fungus order Ustilaginales, are named for their sooty black spore masses. Like the rusts, they belong to the Basidiomycetes and are all plant parasites, of most economic importance on cereals and grasses, but they differ from rusts in having a less complicated life history and in being able to live part of their lives saprophytically in rich organic matter or in culture media. 2, record 1, English, - smut

Infection of any actively growing meristematic tissue (roots, shoot, tassels, or young ears) by spores transported by wind from decaying plant material ... 2, record 1, English, - smut
