Ophiostoma himal-ulmi

Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.

About

Ophiostoma himal-ulmi is a species of fungus in the family Ophiostomataceae. It is one of the causative agents of Dutch elm disease. It was first isolated around breeding galleries of scolytid beetles in the bark of Ulmus wallichiana. This, together with the fact that it is endemic to the Himalayas, is the reason it is named himal-ulmi.
