Karstenia is a genus of fungi in the family Stictidaceae. These small fungi typically grow on wood and bark, producing tiny fruiting bodies that remain partially buried in their host material and appear as small pustules with pale pink or greyish-white centres. Unlike many related fungi, species of Karstenia do not form lichens, though they may occasionally grow near green algae.
