Puccinia lagenophorae on Senecio vulgaris in Belfast. Ubiquitous on this host.
Entyloma ficariae on Ficaria verna at 1. Cave Hill and 2. the Lagan Valley, Belfast. Very common.
Uromyces sp. on Ficaria verna at Cave Hill, Belfast. This is stage 0, before spores have erupted. Note the blue discolouration (iridescence?) in the surrounding tissue.
?Spermosporina aricola on Arum maculatum in the Lagan Valley, Belfast.
Uromyces hyacinthi on Hyacinthoides non-scripta in the Lagan Valley, Belfast. Not very abundant; I think it is more common later in the year
?Puccinia tumida on Conopodium majus at Cave Hill, Belfast. If this identification is correct this is a very early stage. See also my record in Rowallane (April 2023).
Also seen:
