Dermea is a genus of ascomycete fungi[1] which attack trees, especially Prunus fruit trees - for instance, D. prunasti causes greengage plum die-back.

On the whole, although Dermea species are considered pathogenic, not many serious diseases have been reported to be caused by this genus.

[2] Dermea was initially authored in 1825 by the famous mycologist Elias Magnus Fries[2] and contains at least 22 species.
