Venturia effusa is a sexual[1] species in the fungal genus Venturia.[2] Venturia effusa was first described in 1885.[3]

Venturia effusa is a fungal pathogen of pecan trees (Carya illinoinensis), on which it causes pecan scab. The fungus is highly pathogenic and causes substantial economic losses throughout the southeastern United States.
