Stereum hirsutum, commonly known as the false turkey tail, [1] hairy stereum, [2] or hairy curtain crust, [3] is a species of fungus and a plant pathogen that infects coniferous and deciduous trees.

Description

The fuzzy orangish fruiting bodies typically form in multiple brackets on dead wood. [2] The cap is 1–5 centimetres (3⁄8–2 in) wide, [4] sometimes fused to form wider shelves. [2] The flesh is thin and tough. [5] The spores and spore print are white. [4] [5]

It is inedible. [4]

Similar species

Similar species include Stereum rameale , S. ostrea , and Trametes versicolor . [4] [5]

Habitat and distribution

Its substrates include dead limbs and trunks of both hardwoods and conifers. [6]

It is found throughout North America. [5]

Ecology

It is a plant pathogen infecting peach trees. S. hirsutum is itself parasitised by species such as the fungus Tremella aurantia . [7] [8]
