Asteromyia carbonifera is a species of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.

[1][2][3][4] It creates galls on Solidago plants.

Females can lay up to 300 eggs at a time and often collect conidia of the fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea, which is deposited on the plant alongside the eggs.

The larvae grow within the gall that the fungus creates, a form of mutualism.
