List of invasive fungi

Chestnut blight from Cryphonectria parasitica

Some fungi are considered invasive species in certain parts of the world:

• Amanita muscaria
• Amanita phalloides
• Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
• Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans
• Carpenterella
• Cryphonectria parasitica – causes chestnut blight
• Cucumispora dikerogammari
• Geosmithia morbida which, in partnership with the walnut twig beetle Pityophthorus juglandis , causes thousand cankers disease ^[1]
• Heterobasidion irregulare
• Hymenoscyphus fraxineus
• Puccinia horiana – causes Chrysanthemum white rust
• Puccinia psidii
• Pucciniastrum americanum
• Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum
• certain Ophiostoma species which cause Dutch elm disease
  • Ophiostoma ulmi
  • Ophiostoma himal-ulmi
  • Ophiostoma novo-ulmi
