Habitat

Biscogniauxia repanda is a pyrenomycete fungus producing flat, crust-like stromata with embedded perithecia on dead hardwood bark. It inhabits temperate and Mediterranean forests, growing on dead branches and stems of oak, chestnut, and other hardwood trees. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes dead hardwood and colonizes stressed or damaged trees.
