Description
Heterobasidion is a group of fungi known for causing significant tree diseases, particularly in conifers. This group is notorious for its ability to degrade wood, leading to tree root and butt rot. In forests and plantations, it can impact the timber industry due to its destructive nature. Remarkably, heterobasidion spreads both through root contact between trees and by airborne spores, making it a persistent threat in affected areas.
