Nectria is a fascinating group known for their bright reddish or orange fruiting bodies that often dot decaying wood or plant debris. They play a crucial role in breaking down organic material, recycling nutrients in the ecosystem. Some species are known for causing plant diseases, particularly in trees, which makes them significant in forestry and agriculture. Nectria can produce tiny spores that are spread by wind or water, ensuring their proliferation.
