Discover the intriguing world of Botrytis, the notorious yet noble fungus. From the coral-like Ramaria botrytis in the forests of Campania, Italy, to the edible Cauliflower coral mushroom, Botrytis adds a unique charm to the natural world. But beware, this fungus has a darker side. Known as Grey Mould or Botrytis cinerea, they can cause devastating damage to plants, from leaf dieback on roses in autumn to rotted lemon fruit on the tree. In greenhouses, it threatens precious rose flower buds, while in vineyards, it brings both destruction and delight through the coveted "noble rot" on maturing grapes. Even tomatoes are not immune, with the first signs of ghost spots appearing on their skin. Botrytis, a complex character, brings both beauty and destruction, reminding us of the delicate balance in nature.
