brown rot
Stone fruit blight
Brown rot is a fungal disease that attacks stone fruits like peaches, plums, and cherries, causing them to turn brown, shrivel, and decay on the tree.
The fruit often becomes covered with powdery tan spores.
In wood, brown rot refers to fungal decay that breaks down cellulose, leaving behind brown, crumbly material: The deck boards showed signs of brown rot.
