Stereum hirsutum, commonly known as the false turkey tail, [1] hairy stereum, [2] or hairy curtain crust, [3] is a fungus typically forming multiple brackets on dead wood. It is also a plant pathogen infecting peach trees. S. hirsutum is in turn parasitised by certain other species such as the fungus Tremella aurantia. [4] [5] Substrates for S. hirsutum include dead limbs and trunks of both hardwoods and conifers. [6]
The cap is 1–4 cm wide. [7] The spores are white. [7] It is inedible. [7]
Similar species include Stereum ochraceoflavum, Stereum ostrea, and Trametes versicolor. [7]
