Truncatella hartigii is a species of parasitic fungus in the family Bartaliniaceae, first described by Karl von Tubeuf in 1888, and given its current name by René Léopold Steyaert in 1949. It is a parasite of pine needles.[1] It is morphologically similar to Pestalotiopsis funerea with differences in their conidia.[2] It shows significant antibacterial activity, especially against Enterococcus faecalis.[3]
