Amylaria himalayensis is a Himalayan clavorioid fungi, described in 1955 for Bhutan and Nepal. It has not been recorded since, so it is not possible to estimate current population size and distribution and the species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).

Clavarioid species of the monotypic genus Amylaria, erected due to its microscopic characteristics. It was assigned to the family Bondarzewiaceae but this placement has since been questioned. (Pegler and Young, 1972)

Himalayan species found in in Dhotbas, south of Chakure Lekh in Nepal and in the Rocha Chu Valley in Trashiyangsi in Bhutan.

The only available records for this species were used in the description, and date from 1934 and 1952 (Balfour-Browne, 1955). More recent records are needed to estimate current population size.

Specimens used for the description were found in mountain forest (2,800m in Nepal and 3,000 m in Bhutan), growing on the ground among moss or on rotting buried wood, at the base of a tree trunk (Balfour-Browne, 1955).

Searching efforts are needed to estimate current population size and distribution and better understand its habitat and ecology. Taxonomic placement should be reviewed.
