Seiridium is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.[1]

Seiridium cardinale is important to gardeners and foresters as they cause the devastating Cypress canker disease on Cupressus, Thuja, and related conifers in Northern Europe, America, Australia,[2] and New Zealand.[3][4] Seiridium cardinale is from California and was introduced to Europe around the 1930s, probably from infected nursery stock. A separate introduction affected the southern hemisphere.[5]
