Kingdom Fungi > Phylum Basidiomycota > Class Agaricomycetes > Order Russulales > Family Stereaceae > Genus Stereum Stereum lobatum - https://www.marylandbiodiversity.com/view/22195

Status:

Stereum lobatum is part of the Stereum ostrea complex. Recent studies have suggested that Stereum ostrea may not occur in North America (e.g., Delong-Duhon & Bagley, 2020, unpublished)

Description:

Stereum lobatum is covered in dense, matted hairs that wear off in bands. The context under the hairs is chestnut (brown) in color. The undersurface stains yellow when bruised (MycoGuide). A hand lens may be necessary to distinguish this species from similar species of Stereum.

Records:

There are 91 records in the project database.
