Carpenterella is a genus erected for a species of chytrid fungus, Carpenterella molinea, that inhabits the deep vascular xylem tissues of the Moline variety of the American elm tree, causing disease.[3] The genus name recognizes American plant pathologist Clarence Willard Carpenter (1888-1946),[4] who described a similar fungus in relation to chlorotic streak disease of sugar cane in Hawaii.[5][6]
