Description
Leptosphaeria is a group of fungi widely distributed in nature. They are often found on dead or dying plant material, playing a crucial role in decomposition. Some species can cause plant diseases, affecting crops like oilseed rape. These fungi produce small, dark structures called pseudothecia on their host plants, which contain spores for reproduction. Leptosphaeria can survive harsh conditions by forming resting structures.
