Hericium yumthangense is a species of fungus in the family Hericiaceae native to Sikkim in India, first described by K. Das, Stalpers & Stielow in 2013 based on specimens from Yumthang (hence the name). It can be distinguished from other Hericium by its small rooting base, intricate three-tier branching system, and its spines which are 8–13 millimetres (3⁄8–1⁄2 in) long.[1]
