Gallformers ID Notes

Large tan spots on leaves of a plant tentatively identified as Actaea pachypoda. The spots don't appear to cause more than slight deformation, blistering, or thickening of the leaf. They have rings of orange spots above suggestive of a rust fungus.

Observed in Wisconsin in June.
