The family of phylloxera relatives (Stereaceae) consists of species with crust-like fruit bodies that sometimes protrude from the substrate . Many species have acanthohyphidia . These are cystidia-like structures in the fruit layer with more or less pronounced head parts that are closely covered with spikes or hair-like to finger-like outgrowths, similar to a bottle brush. They probably serve as protection against dehydration.
Layered mushrooms ( Stereum ) and flour discs ( Aleurodiscus ) are the largest genera in the family. Both are dominated by species that grow in exposed areas, for example dead branches that are still attached to the tree. The flour discs were divided into many smaller satellite genera, some of them assigned to the layer mushrooms and the mosaic layer mushrooms ( xylobolus ). Several species with corticoid fruiting bodies from the genus Gloeocystidiellum have now been separated as Conferticium , Gloeocystidiellopsis and Megalocystidium .
Genera
The family currently consists of about 20 genera. The systematics of the phylloxera relatives is in a state of upheaval due to new knowledge, which has been gained primarily through rDNA sequence analyzes. Some genera that were traditionally placed in this family are now assigned to independent families or to other families.
