Forest Pathology, Volume 51, Issue 5, October 2021., 2021 Abstract The virulence of 15 endophytic and pathogenic Sphaeropsis sapinea strains was tested towards Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Two‐thirds of the strains had been isolated from Scots pines with varying health status: five isolates originated from healthy tissue (endophytic fungal stage) and five from diseased tissue (pathogenic stage).
