Gano and all the other fungal nasties. The tree equivalents of small pox and bubonic plague. Apparently it was a fungus that caused the potato famine. I cant see much symbiosis going on. Arborists have often experimented with fungicides. Why would anyone want to take antibiotics? Just let nature run its course.

Beneficial and harmful bacteria in the body. Beneficial and harmful fungi on trees. Its not all good

The Irish potatoe famine was caused by an oomycete, Phytophthora, and the main reason for its rapid spread was the almost monocultural varieties planted at the time.

Ah ok i stand corrected, again, a fungus like organism.

Interesting - the wikipedia entry mentions some oomycete being used in biocontrol of plant pathogenic fungi
