Lichenopeltella stereocaulorum is a species of lichenicolous fungus belonging to the class Dothideomycetes.[2] It was described in 2010 from an infected specimen of Stereocaulon botryosum.[1]
It has a similar appearance to Lichenopeltella cladoniarum but L. stereocaulorum has smaller spores and infects Stereocaulon species, while L. cladoniarum typically infects species of the Cladoniaceae and Physciaceae families.
