A mould described in 2010 that causes thousand cankers disease of walnut together with its vector, the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis). The beetle carries conidia into the bark, and the fungus kills phloem and cambium around the larval galleries, producing many coalescing cankers, branch dieback and tree death. Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) is the most severely damaged host.
Not edible; a microscopic plant-pathogenic mould.
