Cover Story: In 2018 and 2021, the fungus Davidsoniella virescens was identified on the wood of Fagus sylvatica in Poland based on morphological and phylogenetic studies. This is the first record of this species outside North America. F. sylvatica was demonstrated for the first time as a host plant for this fungus. The current pathogenicity test showed that most F. sylvatica and all Acer saccharum seedlings were able to limit the extension of wood discoloration, which prevented any further negative impact on the health of the seedlings. However, the high susceptibility of some beech seedlings turned out to be disturbing. It manifested as sudden wilting of the entire crown or the formation of extensive necrotic bark lesions. These results indicate that Polish isolates of D. virescens may pose a greater threat to F. sylvatica than to A. saccharumView this paper
