El cornezuelo(Claviceps purpurea) puede ser encontrado en varias plantas, algunas de producción comercial y otras silvestres; entre las comerciales podemos nombrar : el trigo, la cebada, el mijo, la cizaña y especialmente el centeno. El cornezuelo del centeno es especialmente grande debido al tamaño del ovario de la especie parasitada; del tamaño del ovario depende el tamaño final del esclerocio. Por ello el más afectado es el centeno(Secale cereale, L.).
