Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum is a species of ascomycete fungus.[1]
Description[edit]
The species grows on the bark of decaying hardwood trees. Its fruiting body is sessile, and ranges from 1 to 5 centimetres (1⁄2 to 2 in) wide.[2] The surface of the fruiting body is dark brown or black and has a rough texture due to the high number of perithecia.[3]
Similar species[edit]
Various other Annulohypoxylon species are similar, as is Daldinia childiae. Species of Jackrogersella, Rosellinia, and Nemania have fewer bumps.[2]
Distribution[edit]
Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum is most commonly found along the United States' West Coast, in the Eastern U.S., and in Mexico.[4]
Taxonomy[edit]
The species was moved from the genus Hypoxylon to Annulohypoxylon in 2005.[5] The following varieties are recognized:[4]
- A. t. macrosporum
- A. t. thouarsianum
