Xylobolus subpileatus is a widely distributed species of crust fungus in the family Stereaceae.

Taxonomy

It was first described scientifically in 1849 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis, who considered the fungus a species of Stereum closely related to but distinct from Stereum rugosum. The original collections were made from specimens growing on dead trunks in the United States of Ohio and South Carolina.^[2] Xylobolus subpileatus was given its current name by French mycologist Jacques Boidin when he transferred it to the genus Xylobolus in 1958.^[3]

Description

The caps are somewhat flat to wavy, with a dark zonate top and light underside. They are 2–20 centimetres (1–8 in) wide and 1–3.5 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) deep.^[4]

Similar species

Lookalikes include some within the same genus, as well as Cerioporus mollis, Dentocorticium portoricense, and Hymenochaete rubiginosa.^[4]

Distribution and habitat

It is found in eastern North America growing on fallen oak.^[4]
