Auricularia olivaceus

Auricularia olivaceus was described from India in 2013 by Kumari, Upadhyay and Atri in Mycosphere, named for its olive tones. GBIF holds no occurrence records and it was not included in the 2021 global revision, so this profile gives generic wood-ear conditions for northern India.
