Fungi in the genus Hypoxylon cause wood decay and most of them are saprophytes on dead wood or parasites of weakness. The following species in this genus were identified in this study performed at several localities in Serbia and Montenegro: Hypoxylon deustum, Hypoxylon fragiforme, Hypoxylon nummularium, Hypoxylon multiforme, Hypoxylon rubiginosum and Hypoxylon fuscum. Among of them the most significant species is Hypoxylon deustum, the fungus causing root and butt rot of standing beech trees. It was recorded from all coppice and high forests of beech. This paper presents the morphological characteristics of the recorded fungi, their range, plant hosts and significance.
