Fungi found on plants (6)

I believe the answer is:

mildew

(Other definitions for mildew that I've seen before include "White coating caused by damp" , "Fungus that produces mould on damp material" , "threat to plants" , "Fungi growing on plants" , "Fungal disease in plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
