Phytopathogenic fungi threaten global food security but their global diversity and biogeography are underexplored. Using more than 20,000 globally distributed samples, this study builds a global atlas of phytopathogenic fungi, and predicts that that their diversity and invasion potential will increase globally by the end of this century, especially in forest and cropland ecosystems.
