Description
Cryphonectriaceae are plant pathogens that primarily affect trees. They are known for causing cankers on woody plants, particularly on chestnut and eucalyptus trees. Some species in this group can lead to significant economic losses in forestry. These fungi often produce bright orange or red fruiting bodies on the bark of infected trees, making them visually distinctive in the wild.
