Sawadaea is a genus of fungi in the family Erysiphaceae (powdery mildews). It contains twelve species.[1]

The fungus forms white patches of mycelium on the leaves of its host.[2] Some Sawadaea species have a 'spring' and 'autumn' phase. In spring, the mycelium appears on the upperside of leaves. In autumn, it can be found on the undersides.
