This is a brug I got in a co-op it was growing nicely then started to look sick I thought it was from all the heat now I am not so sure .Can anyone help?
What is this...
It is Charles Grimaldi..I hope it is not the dreaded disease...
It is planted in the ground...
last one :(
Hi Kim,
It looks like you have a case of stem rot, most likely caused by a Fusarium type fungus. Because it is on a common brug, I would toss the plant and sterilize any cutters that may come in contact with it.
Here's an article written by Delisa Harvey on stem rot that you may find helpful.

Thank you Fred I will pull it up.. bag it and toss in the trash.
Always wanted to see CG in full flush :} I just popped the limb off to take pics so the tools are safe!.I checked the others in the garden and they look fine.
Thanks again
Kim
here it is in the yard..
So I am confused. Are the dots on the stem the fungus or is the brouwnish scap the fungus? Or both?
