Question
Cakile edentula, Roque Bluffs, Washington Co Maine tidal marsh edge, 10 Oct. What are the little glandular things on leaves and stems? Are these fungus or slime mold bodies or part of the plant?
Answer
Dear Carol_in_Maine, I think you are correct this is a fungal infection, some type of mold. This species is glabrous (i.e., without hairs) in this part of the world. I don't usually see this species with such infections.
