Laurobasidium is a genus of fungi in the Exobasidiaceae family. The genus contains two species. One is Laurobasidium lauri, found in Europe and described by W. Jülich in 1982,[1] and another is L. hachijoense, found in Hachijō-jima, Japan and described in 1985.[2]
Laurobasidium lauri grows solely on laurel (genus Laurus), Laurus novocanariensis on Madeira and the Canary Islands[3] and Laurus nobilis on the western Iberian Peninsula. L. hachijoense grows solely on the Japanese cinnamon, Cinnamomum japonicum.[4]
