This compilation of fungal diseases includes new plant fungal diseases reported during 21st century i.e. during the year 2000 to 2011. The plant disease like rot, leaf and stem spot, powdery and downy mildew, rust and smut, blight, wilt, damping off, die back and anthracnose were found prevalent caused by a vast group of fungal pathogens like species of Sclerotium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria, Phytophthora, Ceratocystis, Fusarium, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Oidium, Erysiphe, Sclerospora, Podosphaera, Plasmopara, Golovinomyces, Puccinia, Coleosporium, Uncinula, Ustilago, Bipolaris, Phyllosticta, Choanophora, Ceratocystisfimbriata, Pithomyces, Botryodiplodia, Pestalotiopsis, Cercosporoids, Lasiodiplodia, and Phomopsis. The work will provide a useful compendium for mycologists and plant pathologists, increase the recognition of new fungal pathogens in phytopathological research, and spark new questions for future study.
