Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Stramenopiles | Oomycetes | Peronosporales | Peronosporaceae | Phytophthora | Phytophthora infestans Synonym: potato late blight (misnomer) Common: potato late blight fungus (German: Knollenfäule) Comment: Phytophthora infestans, is a plant pathogen. It is the causal agent of Potato blight. It was originally thought to be a lower fungi, but recent research has shown it is better classified, along with diatoms and brown and golden algea, in the stramenopile lineage.
