Pythium porphyrae, is a parasitic species of oomycete in the family Pythiaceae.[5] It is the cause of red rot disease or red wasting disease, also called akagusare (赤ぐされ) in Japanese.[1][6] The specific epithet porphyrae (πορφυρα) stems from the genus of one of its common hosts, Porphyra, and the purple-red color of the lesions on the thallus of the host.[7] However, many of its hosts have been moved from the genus Porphyra to Pyropia.
