Hypomyces camphorati is a parasitic ascomycete in the family Hypocreaceae.[2] Its host species is Lactarius camphoratus, and it causes a whitish to yellowish subiculum to form on the hymenium of the host, covering and preventing formation of the gills. It also causes deformed cap shape and densifying flesh.[3]
Hypomyces camphorati is often treated as Hypomyces lateritius, but it is set apart by its yellowish coloration and slightly larger ascospores.[3] Further research is required to determine whether H. camphorati is indeed a separate species.
