Pachycudonia spathulata, commonly known as Manzanita butter clumps, is a rare and little-known fungus that grows in association with manzanita and Pacific madrone trees on the west coast of North America.[2][3] This fungus was first described in 1942 by Sanshi Imai as Cudonia spathulata and renamed by Imai in 1950 to Pachycudonia spathulata.[4][5][a]
Mycologists are investigating the range of this fungus and seeking new observations and specimen collections.[7]
