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.

Gekammerter Kugelpilz

Daldinia loculata is a pyrenomycete fungus producing hard, globose to hemispherical stromata with characteristic concentric zones visible in cross-section. It grows on dead hardwood and occasionally burned wood in temperate forests. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes dead wood and is associated with post-fire habitats.
