Stinking Smut (left) and Loose Smut (right) of Wheat. * Note the dark interior of the broken grains attacked by stinking smut. Two normal grains are shown below for comparison. Stinking smut of wheat converts the inside of the grain into a dark powdery mass that has a disagreeable odor. The grains are small, swollen, brown and light; but their hulls and the chaff are not affected. The heads stand erect in the field as the crop matures, and the chaff and awns may spread unnaturally; otherwise

Loose smut of wheat converts the grain and chaff entirely into a smut mass, and the spores are soon shed, leaving a bare stalk, very much as in oat smut.
