Xenasma pulverulentum es un basidiomiceto corticicoide que forma costras pulverulentas, de color gris pálido a blanquecino, sobre madera muerta de coníferas. Habita bosques boreales y templados de coníferas en el norte de Europa y Escandinavia. Este hongo saprotrófico descompone la madera muerta de coníferas y contribuye al reciclaje de nutrientes en los ecosistemas forestales.

Xenasma rimicola es un hongo corticicoide de la familia Xenasmataceae, evaluado como Vulnerable (VU). Crece como una costra resupinada delgada sobre madera en descomposición en hábitats de bosque maduro o antiguo. Su estado vulnerable refleja la sensibilidad a la extracción de madera muerta y la perturbación de ecosistemas forestales inalterados.
