Daldinia lloydii is a pyrenomycete fungus in the family Hypoxylaceae, assessed as Endangered (EN). It produces hard, concentrically-layered, charcoal-like stromata on dead wood of specific host trees. Its endangered status reflects its dependence on old-growth or ancient woodland with standing deadwood, habitats that are increasingly rare.
