| Summary: | <i>Armillaria altimontana</i> is a fungus (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, Agaricales, and Physalacriaceae) that is generally considered as a weak/opportunistic pathogen or saprophyte on many tree hosts. It widely occurs across the northwestern USA to southern British Columbia, Canada, but relatively little is known about its ecological role in the diverse forest ecosystems where it occurs. This review summarizes the biology and ecology of <i>A</i>. <i>altimontana</i>, including its identification, life cycle, distribution, host associations, and bioclimatic models under climate change.
