Description
Leptosphaeriaceae are primarily plant pathogens found worldwide. They often inhabit dead or dying plant tissues, particularly stems and leaves. Some species can cause significant crop diseases, affecting important plants like wheat and canola. These fungi typically produce small, dark fruiting bodies that are partially embedded in their host's tissue. They play a role in decomposition processes in various ecosystems.
