Cerocorticium is a genus of seven species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1900, as a member of the family Thelephoraceae. Hennings included two species, C. tjibodense, and the type, C. bogoriense, both collected on Java. Later analysis of the type specimens showed that these two fungi were in fact the same species, today known as C. molle.
