Description
Melanconidaceae are plant pathogens that primarily affect woody trees and shrubs. They cause cankers and dieback in their hosts, often leading to significant damage in forests and orchards. These fungi typically produce dark-colored spores in specialized structures beneath the bark of infected plants. Some species in this group can remain dormant in plant tissues for extended periods before causing visible symptoms.
