The ecology and geographical distribution of Stereum subpileatum is treated, with special reference to Europe, and Czechoslovakia in particular. This remarkable Stereum is known in this country from 20 localities, all on dead wood of three species of oak, primarily Quercus cerris. It does not occur in Bohemia, being known from only one locality in Moravia and from 19 localities in Slovakia. In Europe, it is known from a limited number of countries and is also reported from Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
