Species Profile
Nemania effusa is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Xylariaceae. It is often found living on the dead bark of willow trees. The species was originally named Hypoxylon effusum by German botanist Theodor Rudolph Joseph Nitschke in 1867; Zdeněk Pouzar transferred it to Nemania in 1985.
Nemania effusa faces significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and degradation of old-growth deciduous forests where it grows as a saprobic fungus on dead wood. Climate change and altered precipitation patterns may also affect the moisture conditions required for this species' fruiting and spore dispersal.
