Armillaria mellea is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus "Armillaria". It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected.

Similar species: Agaricales
