Lichenopeltella stereocaulorum is a species of lichenicolous fungus belonging to the class Dothideomycetes. [2] It was described in 2010 from an infected specimen of Stereocaulon botryosum. [1]
It has a similar appearance to Lichenopeltella cladoniarum but L. stereocaulorum has smaller spores and infects Stereocaulon species, while L. cladoniarum typically infects species of the Cladoniaceae and Physciaceae families.
Lichenipeltella stereocaulorum has a Holarctic distribution in the tundra biome, although it has also been reported from Arctic desert and taiga. [1] It is known from Russia and Canada. [1]
Lichenopeltella stereocaulorum infects the stems of Stereocaulon lichens, most commonly at the base of the stem. The following species are known hosts to Lichenopeltella sterecaulorum: [1]
