Helminthosporium is a group of fungi. "Helminthosporium" belongs to the Massarinaceae family and is of the Pleosporales order. Currently, 60 species belong to the "Helminthosporium" genus. However, there is some uncertainty about how many species belong to this genus. Members of the Helminthosporium genus are most visible in their asexual morph. These species are considered saprobes and are distributed worldwide. They have been seen to infect a range of hosts. Identification. It is difficult to identify "Helminthosporium" by their shape. Instead, suspected members of the "Helminthosporium" genus undergo molecular tests to evaluate their correct species. For reliable identification, members should undergo both morphological and molecular analysis.  The "Helminthosporium" genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Infection. The majority of "Helminthosporium" species are parasitic. Hosts include grass-like plants such as potatoes, rice, corn, barley, oats, wheat, and sorghum. Infection usually occurs on the stems and leaves of plants. However, the species that has infected the host may change what the infection looks like. One instance of infection by a "Helminthosporium" species is the disease Southern Corn Leaf Blight (SCLB). SCLB is caused by "Helminthosporium" "maydis" ("H. maydis"). When infecting a host, "H. maydis" produces a toxin that causes SCLB. This disease stops root growth and produces yellow or brown lesions on plant leaves. This disease can affect both corn and sorghum grown in warm, humid environments. Another disease caused by "Helminthosporium" is named seedling rot disease. Rice seedling rot disease is caused by "Helminthosporium oryzae" ("H. oryzae") and infects rice seeds and rice seedlings. This disease significantly decreases the production of rice seedlings. Infected seeds are soft, pulpy and often covered in mould. Some
