Description
Amphiporthe is a group of fungi that typically inhabit the bark of trees, particularly hardwoods. They are known for causing cankers, which are areas of dead tissue on tree branches or trunks. These fungi often have a long-lived phase where they persist within the host plant without causing visible symptoms, only becoming apparent when environmental conditions trigger their growth and reproduction.
