👉 Cyclostrophic is a type of plant disease caused by a fungus that affects the roots and leaves of plants. It occurs when the fungi invade the wood pulp from which the plant is made, causing damage to the tree's trunk or bark. Cystoliths are small, brownish-black structures that can form on the surface of the wood pulp. The fungal attack can cause the pulp to rot or die, and the tree may be severely damaged.
