Description
Diatrypaceae are a group of fungi known for forming elongated, stromatic structures often seen on dead wood. Typically, they feature dark, carbonaceous fruiting bodies with small, perithecial cavities. Diatrypaceae are mostly saprophytic, meaning they play an important role in breaking down and recycling nutrients from decaying plant material. Some species within diatrypaceae can also be pathogenic, causing diseases in trees and other woody plants. Highly adaptive, they thrive in various environments, contributing significantly to forest ecosystems.
