Dermea is a genus of ascomycete fungi [1] which attack trees, especially Prunus fruit trees - for instance, D. prunasti causes greengage plum die-back. On the whole, although Dermea species are considered pathogenic, not many serious diseases have been reported to be caused by this genus. [2]

Contents

Dermea was initially authored in 1825 by the famous mycologist Elias Magnus Fries [2] and contains at least 22 species. [3]
