Description
Botrytis is a group of fungi known for causing gray mold on many plants. They thrive in cool, moist conditions and can spread rapidly. Some species in this group have the ability to produce enzymes that break down plant cell walls. Interestingly, certain botrytis species are used beneficially in winemaking to concentrate grape sugars.
