        It is either Puccinia urticata or another similar species of Puccinia rust fungus. Posted 10 years ago

          Wildflower, you are so good!! I searched for Puccinia and found via google some similar pictures. This fungus is also known as nettle rust Brennnessel-Rostpilz.
          Thank you so much for this clarification.           Posted 10 years ago

          Very impressive, this is the first is an entirely new class of fungi on the site. Although I think an exact identification can only be done with a microscope, I went with your first suggestion for now. Posted 10 years ago

      Wildflower is the best! she gave the initial and I could find similar pictures online. It is a Puccinia rust fungus, nettle rust - Brennnessel-Rostpilz.
      Wonderful, how this works, to search and to find the answer here.       Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

The Nettle Clustercup Rust Fungus

Puccinia urticata is a rust fungus which develops on the stems and leaves of Common (Stinging) Nettle or Small (Annual) Nettle. It often starts as small orange blisters or swellings. Close examination may reveal the pinhead-like fruiting bodies of the fungus.
