My workmate brought me these diseased Passiflora caerulea -leaf samples. The fungus causing the powdery mildew symptoms was identified as Pseudoidium passiflorae fungus. That is the anamorph (asexual stage) of the Erysiphe sp. fungus, producing single conidia on the conidiophores that rises from the mycelium. The multilobed appressoria are also seen in the pictures. -- source link
