Fruiting bodies on mostly fallen wood, very thin and with a smooth undersurface.

There are at least 12 species of Stereum in New Zealand, some that ‘bleed’ when cut.

Many other fungi previously called Stereum, with similar ‘sterioid’ features, have been renamed in several other genera distinguished on the basis of microscopic features.

Corticioid fungi forming resupinate to pileate fruiting bodies with upper surface typically tomentose at least when young, underside smooth and in some species bleeding when cut.

More than 10 species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
