Distribution
This fungus occurs in Europe. A similar fungus with the same habitat, that is commonly found in California, is also called Stereum hirsutum. According to mycologist Alan Rockefeller, appearing on the youtube channel "Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLIcTGYWnjc), the two fungi are genetically distinct and the California species is an undescribed species. The article lacks a "Distribution" section and a person who wants to add one should be aware of this opinion. Wastrel Way (talk) 14:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC) Eric
