Sistotrema pistilliferum is a corticioid basidiomycete forming thin, white to cream-colored, waxy resupinate crusts on decaying wood. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests, growing on fallen logs and branches of hardwood and conifer trees. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead woody material through white-rot enzymatic processes.
