Description
Lopadostomataceae are wood-inhabiting fungi that form small, dark, sphere-like structures on their host plants. These structures, called stromata, contain the reproductive parts of the fungus. Many species in this group are known to colonize dead or decaying wood, particularly from hardwood trees. Some members of lopadostomataceae can cause plant diseases, affecting the health of their host trees.
