The image depicts a close-up view of an oak tree trunk affected by Hypoxylon canker disease caused by Biscogniauxia atropunctata fungus. The fungus creates large cracks and holes in the bark, which have allowed the wood to weather and become light gray with patches of black.
There are several small dark spots on the trunk that may be insect or rodent holes. The image highlights the damage done to the tree by this disease, which can cause significant harm to the structural integrity of the tree if left unchecked. – AI vision

La imagen muestra una vista detallada del tronco de un roble afectado por la enfermedad del Hypoxylon canker provocada por el hongo Biscogniauxia atropunctata.

Hay varias pequeñas manchas oscuras en el tronco que pueden ser orificios de insectos o roedores. La imagen destaca el daño causado al árbol por esta enfermedad, que puede provocar un daño significativo a la integridad estructural del árbol si no se controla. – Spanish translation
