Armillaria mellea
"C. libani" is susceptible to a number of soil-borne, foliar, and stem pathogens. The seedlings are prone to fungal attacks. "Botrytis cinerea", a necrotrophic fungus known to cause considerable damage to food crops, attacks the cedar needles, causing them to turn yellow and drop. "Armillaria mellea" (commonly known as honey fungus) is a basidiomycete that fruits in dense clusters at the base of trunks or stumps and attacks the roots of cedars growing in wet soils. The Lebanese cedar shoot moth ("Parasyndemis cedricola") is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae found in the forests of Lebanon and Turkey; its larvae feed on young cedar leaves and buds.
