Steccherinum lacerum is a tooth fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It grows on dead wood of broadleaf trees, producing resupinate or semi-resupinate fruiting bodies with small, spine-like teeth. Its near-threatened status reflects sensitivity to the loss of large, fallen deadwood in managed forests.
