Same as fumagine; a type of dark fungal growth or sooty deposit on plants, particularly affecting leaves and stems.
From Latin 'fumago,' derived directly from 'fumus' (smoke). An older botanical term for the same phenomenon that fumagine describes.
Both 'fumago' and 'fumagine' describe the same plant disease, but 'fumago' is the direct Latin term while 'fumagine' is the French version—it's like seeing different languages' attempts to describe smoke-like mold.
