		Technical Abstract: Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) is a broadleaf evergreen tree native to Western North America and has been suffering a decline during the past thirty years.
		A fungus, previously identified as Nattrassia mangiferae, causes a canker disease that is primarily responsible for the decline.
		However, the madrone fungus is not identical or even closely related to Nattrassia and should be considered a new species of Fusicoccum.
