Taxonomy[edit | edit source]
The species was first described in the scientific literature by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1914. The specific epithet stevensii honors American botanist Frank Lincoln Stevens, who made significant contributions to the study of plant pathology.
Description[edit | edit source]
Corticium stevensii is a saprophytic fungus, meaning it derives its nutrients from decaying organic matter. It forms smooth, white to cream-colored patches on the decaying wood of various hardwood species. The patches are made up of a tightly interwoven mass of hyphae, the filamentous cells that make up the body of a fungus.
Distribution and habitat[edit | edit source]
Corticium stevensii is known to occur in North America, where it is most commonly found on decaying hardwood logs and stumps. It is a wood-decay fungus, contributing to the decomposition of dead wood in forest ecosystems.
