Stereum Leoninum
''Stereum'' is the type genus of the Stereaceae family of fungi, in the Russulales order. Common names for species of this genus include leaf fungus, wax fungus, and shelf fungus. Fungi having a shape similar to a ''Stereum'' are said to have a stereoid shape. ''Stereum'' contains 27 species that have a widespread distribution. Description ''Stereum'' species are wood decay fungi. Their simple, shelving fruiting bodies have a smooth hymenium, lacking gills or tubes. Like most members or the family Stereaceae, ''Stereum'' fruiting bodies lack clamp connections and produce Amyloid (mycology), amyloid basidiospores. Taxonomy It is the type genus of the Stereaceae family. Until recently, the genus was classified in the Corticiaceae family, of the Corticiales order. However, it was given its own family as a result of the split-up of the Corticiales. The species can be divided into two groups: the bleeders (those that exude a red liquid from cut surfaces, similarly to ''Lactarius (f ...

Stereum Hirsutum
''Stereum hirsutum'', commonly known as the false turkey tail, hairy stereum, or hairy curtain crust, 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. The Pileus (mycology), cap is wide, sometimes fused to form wider shelves. The flesh is thin and tough. The spores and spore print are white. It is inedible. Similar species Similar species include ''Stereum rameale'', ''Stereum ostrea, S. ostrea'', and ''Trametes versicolor''. Habitat and distribution Its Substrate (biology), substrates include dead limbs and trunks of both hardwoods and conifers. It is found throughout North America. Ecology It is a plant pathogen infecting peach trees. ''S. hirsutum'' is itself parasitised by species such as the fungus ''Tremella aurantia''.Species Fungorum. 2009Synonymy: ''Stereum hirsutum''/ref> References External links * Fungal tr ...

Synonym (biology)
In taxonomy, the scientific classification of living organisms, a synonym is an alternative scientific name for the accepted scientific name of a taxon. The botanical and zoological codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that now goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called '' Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank – for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 17 ...
