Sporocadus lichenicola Corda 1839

This fungus is widely distributed and has been recorded as a pathogen of various woody plants. It can cause leaf spots, leaf blights and stem lesions. For example, it infects almonds in North America. Almond shoots turn brown and dry out with the leaves withering. Flowers and buds may be also killed.
