Hypoxylon petriniae is a wood-inhabiting pyrenomycete fungus producing small, cushion-shaped stromata on dead hardwood bark. It inhabits temperate forests across Europe and related regions where suitable deadwood hosts are available. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes the cellulose and lignin of dead woody tissues.
