In 1986 and 1987 a widespread leaf blotch disease of maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) occurrediin Central Europe. The symptoms of this disease, caused by Pleuroceras pseudoplatani, are described. The nature of the fungus in pure culture is presented. A newly found fructification structure, appearing on veins in the leaf blotches, is described as Asteroma pseudoplatani sp. nov.. The spores produced in these anamorph, apparently with the function of spermatia, enable a reliable, quick identification of the disease, formerly only possible by the perfect form appearing on dead leaves in the following spring.
