Dichostereum is a genus of corticioid fungi in the Peniophoraceae family. Based on 2025 data, the genus contains 14 species that have a widespread distribution.
The name was coined with the use of the ancient Greek words δῐ́χᾰ (dĭ́khă, “in two”) + στερεόν (stereón) <στερεός (stereós, “firm; rigid; solid”).
