Clitocybe parasitica is classified as a plant pathogen, because in the United States it causes Clitocybe Root Rot, affecting apple, peach, cherry, and oak species.[1] First detected in Oklahoma in 1900 and described by E.M. Wilcox the following year, C. parasitica has been found afflicting orchard trees as far north as Oregon.
