Monilinia is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae.[1]

Monilinia fungi are pathogens to Rosaceae and Ericaceae and often cause major losses to crops. The genus is sometimes divided into two sections based on whether they possess disjunctors - these are small structures in mature fungi that help with spore dispersal.[2] There are about thirty known species in this genus.[2] Most studies of the fungi focus on their pathogenic effects toward apples, pears and other fruits. The diseases they cause include brown rot and dry berry disease.[2]

In Japan, some species have pharmacological uses.[2]
