Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum is a species of ascomycete fungus. [1]
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]
Various other Annulohypoxylon species are similar, as is Daldinia childiae . Species of Jackrogersella , Rosellinia , and Nemania have fewer bumps. [2]
Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum is most commonly found along the United States' West Coast, in the Eastern U.S., and in Mexico. [4]
The species was moved from the genus Hypoxylon to Annulohypoxylon in 2005. [5] The following varieties are recognized: [4]
