I don't know much about Fungi. What I do know is, they're mostly pretty hard to identify to species. So this is me, trying.

Another rust
Walking through Hoe Wood, I noticed the Lords-And-Ladies Arum maculatum were dotted with pale orange spots.
Looking under the leaves, I spotted tell-tale signs of another rust fungus from the genus Puccinia. Forming circular pustules at first, then bursting out into a ring of cup-shaped aecia.
Ellis & Ellis (1997) lists only one Puccinia species on Arum: Puccinia sessilis.
For the record
