Abstract
The name Litschaueria corticiorum was found to have been misapplied to a common pyrenomycete that occurs on old basidiomata of Stereum species. The new genus and species Ascocodinaea stereicola is proposed for it; its proven anamorph is a Codinaea species. A second new species, A. polyporicola, which occurs on old basidiomata of Polyporus species, is also proposed; its presumed anamorph is also a Codinaea species.
