Ceratocystis and Ophiostoma: Taxonomy, Ecology, and Pathogenicity

Edited by Michael J. Wingfield, Keith A. Seifert, and Joan F. Webber

Although this book's emphasis is on taxonomy, information is also given on sapstain of logs, conifer diseases, and other plant diseases.

From the Preface:

Ceratocystis and Ophiostoma: Taxonomy, Ecology, and Pathogenicity is based on an international symposium that brought together researchers from different disciplines to discuss the many aspects of the biology of the ophiostomatoid fungi in a single forum. The broader subjects under consideration included taxonomy, ecology and pathogenicity.
