The Stereocaulaceae is a family of lichenised fungi found in temperate parts of the world. Members of the Stereocaulaceae are characterised by pseudopodetia, stem-like structures growing from vegetative granular stages of the thallus, and cephalodia containing symbiotic cyanobacteria, with green algae in the main body of the lichen (Myllys et al. 2005).
