Amphistereum is a genus of fungi in the family Auriculariaceae.^[1] Species produce cupulate to effused, leathery basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood. Microscopically, fruit bodies have a dimitic hyphal system. The genus is currently only known from North and South America.^[2]

Taxonomy

The genus was created as a result of molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, which showed that two species previously referred to the genus Eichleriella formed a related, but distinct grouping.^[2]
