Podosphaera fusca is a fungus that parasitically infects plants (a phytopathogen). It is the cause of powdery mildew in the genus Doronicum.

P. fusca was formerly considered synonymous with Podosphaera xanthii, but due to, mainly, the smaller ascomata and smaller oculi than P. xanthii, it was deemed a separate species. While P. xanthii remains a large species complex (with P. xanthii s.s. on Xanthium), P. fusca is now very narrowly defined.
