Overview
Entoleuca mammata is a species of fungus in the genus Entoleuca. It is responsible for the plant disease hypoxylon canker in hardwood trees such as quaking aspen and other aspens and poplars, Salix myrsinifolia and other willow species, rowan, Sitka alder, birch, apple, oak, and hop-hornbeam.
Bultige kogelzwam faces significant threats from habitat degradation and loss of suitable host trees due to deforestation, urban development, and intensive forest management practices. Climate change may also be altering the moisture and temperature conditions this fungus requires for successful reproduction and survival.
Habitat
This fungus occurs as a parasite and saprophyte on deciduous trees, particularly beech and other hardwood species in temperate forests. It typically inhabits mature woodland ecosystems with adequate moisture levels and established tree communities.
