Hypoxylon Oak Canker (Biscogniauxia atropunctata)
Hypoxylon Oak Canker a.k.a. "Biscogniauxia Dieback" is a white-rot fungus that infects primarily Oak (Quercus sp.) trees, usually following a period of stress like a drought. The fungus will eventually cut off the supply of water and nutrients to the tree by destroying the sapwood (nutrient-conducting tissues).
