 Those yellow leaf clusters are natural artificial flowers. What happens is this: The mustard plant gets infected with a type of fungus1 called “rust2 fungus.” This fungus causes the plant to stop its natural flower production, and to produce a leaf cluster instead. The yellow fungus cells then gather along these leaves, providing the fake flower’s artificial coloring. Just as natural flowers attract insects like bees and butterflies, these artificial flowers do too. In fact, the fungus produces a sugary liquid inside its fake flower that is ten to a hundred times sweeter than the nectar of real flowers. Why does the rust fungus do this? Plants produce natural flowers to attract insects, which then cross pollinate the plants and help them reproduce. The fake flowers do the same thing for the fungus. Insects cross pollinate the fungus colonies, helping3 them reproduce… which leads to still more natural, artificial flowers!
