Stereopsis is the sole genus of fungi in the family Stereopsidaceae. [1] The genus was formerly placed in the family Meruliaceae in the order Polyporales but was found to belong in its own order along with the genus Clavulicium . [1] The genus Stereopsis was circumscribed by English mycologist Derek Reid in 1965. [2] It contains species that form funnel-shaped basidiocarps as well as the corticioid species Stereopsis globosa which was formerly considered a species of Clavulicium. [1]
