Description
Eutypa are known for infecting wood, causing dieback in trees and vines. They can be particularly problematic for grapevines, negatively impacting vineyards. Eutypa produces small, black, pinhead-like fruiting bodies on dead or diseased wood. These fruiting bodies release spores that spread the infection, often entering through pruning wounds. While they are tiny, their effect on plant health can be significant, highlighting the delicate balance within ecosystems.
