Exobasidium splendidum es un hongo basidiomiceto parásito que forma agallas y crecimientos hipertrofiados en las hojas y tallos de plantas hospedadoras de la familia de los brezos. Habita hábitats boreales y montanos donde crecen arbustos de Ericaceae como Arctostaphylos. Este hongo parásito deforma el tejido de la planta hospedadora para extraer nutrientes durante su fase reproductiva.
