What eats chestnut blight?
Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectaria parasitica, does not have specific natural predators that consume it. However, certain biological control methods have explored using naturally occurring fungi and bacteria that can outcompete or inhibit the growth of the blight.
