    • Figure 1.  A Eutypa dieback symptoms on Syringa reticulata. B Stromata. C Transverse section through stroma. D Ascospores. E Seven-day-old culture on MEA. Scale bars: B = 0.5 mm, C = 100 μm, D = 5 μm.

    • Figure 2.  Phylogram generated from the best scoring RAxML tree based on ITS sequence data. Bootstrap support values for ML ≥ 60%, and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BP) ≥ 0.90 are given as ML/BP above or below nodes. Xylaria hypoxylon (CBS 122620) is used as outgroup. The specimens found in this study are in black bold.
