Stereum hirsutum, commonly known as the false turkey tail,[1] hairy stereum,[2] or hairy curtain crust,[3] is a species of fungus and a plant pathogen that infects peach trees.

Description

[edit]

The fuzzy orangish fruiting bodies typically form in multiple brackets on dead wood. The cap is 1–5 centimetres (38–2 in) wide.[4] The flesh is thin and tough.[5] The spores and spore print are white.[4][5]

It is inedible.[4]
