Entoleuca mammata is a species of fungus in the family Xylariaceae. It is responsible for the plant disease hypoxylon canker in hardwood trees such as quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and other aspens and poplars, Salix myrsinifolia and other willow species, rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), Sitka alder (Alnus viridis), birch (Betula spp.), apple (Malus spp.), oak (Quercus spp.), and hop-hornbeam (Ostrya spp.).
Hypoxylon mammatum is found only on hardwoods, most commonly on poplar and willow. In B.C., it has been reported on aspen, willow, and Sitka alder. Elsewhere in North America it has also been found on other poplar spp., birch, apple, oak, and hop-hornbeam.
