Ciri dan struktur
Symptoms of the fungus are expressed on both the tassels of corn and sorghum as well as on the actual ear in the form of large smut galls. When the sorghum tassel is infected, the fragile gall membrane will have a range from just a few black spores to a large mass of black spores covering the tassel. Sporisorium reilianum is noted to have a sexual stage in its disease cycle similar to that of Ustilago maydis. Initial infections occur on roots of young seedlings. The pathogen develops systemically and is found on ear and tassel tissues as the host plant matures. At maturity teliospores can be found in the white sori of the infected heads of corn. These will be easily dispersed by the wind. Favorable nutritive soil and weather conditions around 23-30 °C allows for germination of the teliospores in the soil. Maize head smut occurs in most maize-growing areas, including many regions of North America, Australia, Asia, and southern Europe. It causes tremendous loss of yield during outbreaks due to the replacement of the ear with large smut sori. To infect maize roots, S. reilianum f. sp. zeae must form a dikaryotic parasitic hypha which results for the mating of two compatible haploid strains. The infection always occurs in soil via the root, unlike Ustilago maydis, another maize smut, which infects maize plants via aerial parts. Temperatures of 23-30 °C are optimal for field infection of corn, suspected to be due to maximum teliospore germination. Detection of S. reilianum is a key step toward the development of an effective disease management system. Conventional methods, including pathogen isolation and microscopic morphological study, are labor-intensive and cumbersome, and sometimes yield inconclusive results.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Sporisorium reilianum menyebabkan penyakit kepala jagung kotor dan kepala sorghum kotor. Jamur kotor tanah ini memiliki dua bentuk khusus. S. reilianum f. sp. reilianum adalah khusus untuk sorga dan S. reilianum f. sp. zeae adalah khusus untuk jagung. Symptoms of jamur diekspresikan pada kedua tasel jagung dan sorga serta di telinga sebenarnya dalam bentuk sarang kotor besar. When the sorghum tassel terinfeksi, membran empedu yang rapuh akan memiliki rentang dari hanya beberapa spora hitam ke massa besar spora hitam yang menutupi tassel.

Reproduksi
Sporisorium reilianum (J.G. Kühn) Langdon & Full., (1978), previously known as Sphacelotheca reiliana, and Sporisorium reilianum, is a species of biotrophic fungus in the family Ustilaginaceae. It is a plant pathogen that infects maize and sorghum. Sporisorium reilianum causes the diseases maize head smut and sorghum head smut. This soil borne smut fungus has two formae speciales. S. reilianum f. sp. reilianum is specific to sorghum and S. reilianum f. sp. zeae is specific to maize. Symptoms of the fungus are expressed on both the tassels of corn and sorghum as well as on the actual ear in the form of large smut galls. When the sorghum tassel is infected, the fragile gall membrane will have a range from just a few black spores to a large mass of black spores covering the tassel.
