Source-derived summary

Venturia carpophila is a species of fungus in the family Venturiaceae. A plant pathogen, it causes freckle, black spot, peach scab or black scab of peach. It has a cosmopolitan distribution. The species was described as new to science in 1961 by the Australian mycologist Eileen E. Fisher.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Venturia carpophila” as species of fungus. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Venturia, carpophila and species.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1961—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Venturia, carpophila and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Venturia carpophila”, the useful work is to connect “species of fungus” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7920446. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1961.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
