Fig. 3.5 Graphical synopsis of the information contained in the chapter, showing proportional
abundance of (1) fossil hosts containing fungal parasites, (2) suggested affinities of the fungal
parasites, (3) mode of fossil preservation, and (4) host response(s) if present. We acknowledge that
the figure contains a prominent bias towards the paleobotanical evidence
