''Podostroma'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. It was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten Petter Adolf Karsten (16 February 1834 – 22 March 1917) was a Finland, Finnish mycology, mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology". Karsten was born in Merim ... in 1892. The genus contains 11 species that collectively have a widespread distribution. A large number of these are highly toxic, and should not be handled.

Podostroma Cornu-damae
, also known as the poison fire coral, is a species of fungus in the family Hypocreaceae. The fruit bodies of the fungus are highly toxic, and have been responsible for several fatalities in Japan. The fungus contains several trichothecene mycotoxins. Taxonomy The species was originally described as ''Hypocrea cornu-damae'' by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1895, and later transferred to the genus ''Podocrea'' in 1905 by Pier Andrea Saccardo. In 1994 Japanese mycologists Tsuguo Hongo and Masana Izawa placed the species in the genus '' Podostroma''. Range The fungus was once thought to be only native to Korea and Japan, but recent discoveries have been made in Indonesia (Java), Papua New Guinea and some parts of Australia.

Hypocreaceae
The Hypocreaceae are a family within the class Sordariomycetes. Species of Hypocreaceae are usually recognized by their brightly colored, perithecial ascomata, typically yellow, orange or red. The family was proposed by Giuseppe De Notaris in 1844. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the family has 22 genera and 454 species.
