Fungal Species: Irpex subulatus (formerly Flavodon subulatus and F. ambrosius)

Eight Fungal Species Associated with Ambrosia Beetles in Korea

This research identifies eight types of fungi that live in partnership with ambrosia beetles in Korea. These fungi are food sources for beetle larvae and adults. The study found that some fungi have specific relationships with particular beetle species, while others can associate with multiple beetle types. This work helps scientists understand how beetles spread fungi and potentially cause tree diseases like oak wilt.
