Sistotrema is a genus of fungi in the family Hydnaceae. The genus contains at least 55 species and has a worldwide distribution. The type species is Sistotrema confluens Pers. (1794).
== Ecology == The genus includes both terricolous and lignicolous species. Most species of Sistotrema are white rotting saprotrophs which often occur on highly decayed wood and on bark of attached, dead branches, but endophytic and ectomycorrhizal nutritional modes also exist in some species. Sistotrema confluens is ectomycorrhizal and S. alboluteum, S. muscicola and S. albopallescens are suspected of being so. In the genus only S. confluens and S. subconfluens are known to grow on soil.
