Stereum hirsutum, also called false turkey tail[1] and hairy curtain crust,[2] is a fungus typically forming multiple brackets on dead wood. It is also a plant pathogen infecting peach trees. S. hirsutum is in turn parasitised by certain other species such as the fungus Tremella aurantia.[3][4] Substrates for S. hirsutum include dead limbs and trunks of both hardwoods and conifers.[5]
The cap is 1–4 cm wide.[6] The spores are white.[6] It is inedible.[6]
Similar species include Stereum ochraceoflavum, Stereum ostrea, and Trametes versicolor.[6]
