Xylobolus subpileatus

''Xylobolus subpileatus'' is a widely distributed species of crust fungus in the family Stereaceae. It was first described scientifically in 1849 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis, who considered the fungus a species of ''Stereum'' closely related to but distinct from ''Stereum rugosum''.

''Xylobolus subpileatus'' was given its current name by French mycologist.. more
