Gnathotrichus materiarius, the American utilizable wood bark beetle, is an ambrosia beetle in the family Curculionidae. [2] [3] [4] It is native to North America, [2] but has been introduced to several European countries. [5] [6] It lives in symbiosis with the fungus Endomycopsis fasciculata , which adult beetles inoculate into the wood of host trees - the fungus then acts as the primary food source of the larvae and adults. [7]
