Aleurodiscus oakesii on tree bark. Aleurodiscus oakesii is the most common fungi to cause “smooth patch disease” on the nonliving outer bark of trees. This fungal infection can lead to trees shedding and leaving smooth and lighter patches of bark on the tree, giving “smooth patch” its meaning.
Beech bark disease is a disease that causes mortality and defects in beech trees in the eastern United States, Canada and Europe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In North America , the disease occurs after extensive bark invasion by Xylococculus betulae and the beech scale insect , Cryptococcus fagisuga . [ 4 ]
Maple bark disease, or maple bark stripper’s disease, is an uncommon condition caused by exposure to the spores of C. corticale. [5] The spores are hyper-allergenic and cause a hypersensitivity pneumonitis. [6] [7] The disease has been found among workers in the paper industry employed to debark, cut and chip maple logs. The symptoms include ...

The knobcone pine, Pinus attenuata (also called Pinus tuberculata), [2] is a tree that grows in mild climates on poor soils. It ranges from the mountains of southern Oregon to Baja California with the greatest concentration in northern California and the Oregon-California border.
The affected area is very shallow and never show the "open-faced", perennial, target-shape typical of many canker diseases of trees (e.g., Nectria canker). Instead, in TCD the bark remains firmly attached to the canker face making the necrotic areas very difficult to observe. Branch cankers usually are not visible until the outer bark is shaved ...
Where beech bark disease becomes established, most of the larger trees will die. Some trees seem to be partially resistant to the disease and a small number seem to be completely resistant. This may be partly due to the fact that trees with smooth bark provide fewer cracks and crevices in which the scale insect can flourish.
