Stereaceae
Braunsamtiger layer fungus ( Stereum ostrea )
The layer of the fungus relatives ( Stereaceae ) family consists of species with crust-like to partly protruding from the substrate fruiting bodies. Many species have Acanthohyphidien. It is zystidenartige structures in the fruit layer with more or less pronounced head parts that are similar to a bottle brush closely studded with spikes. You probably serve as protection against dehydration.
Layer Mushrooms ( Stereum ) and flour discs ( Aleurodiscus ) form the largest genera in the family. Both are dominated by species that grow on exposed areas, such as dead, but ansitz still attached to tree branches. The flour disks were divided into many smaller satellite genera, some of them associated with the layer mushrooms and fungi mosaic layer ( Xylobolus ). Several species with corticioiden fruiting bodies of the genus Gloeocystidiellum have now been separated as Conferticium, Gloeocystidiellopsis and Megalocystidium.
