From HandWiki

Lecanosticta is a genus of fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae consisting of ten species.[1][2]

Species

There are ten species in this genus:[3]

Pathogenic species

Lecanosticta acicola is a widespread plant pathogen of over 50 species of pine (Pinus spp.) globally, causing a disease known as brown spot needle blight.[4][5] The disease infects pine needles and causes them to prematurely drop, resulting in reduced growth and yield losses.[4]

In 2022, Lecanosticta pharomachri was implicated as the cause of needle disease outbreaks in Colombian planted forests.[6]
