L. calocerum L. rugaramae L. vilgalysii L. winklerianum Lepidostroma is a genus in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales).

[1] The genus is distinguished from all other lichenized clavarioid fungi (Multiclavula (Cantharellales), Ertzia (Lepidostromatales), and Sulzbacheromyces (Lepidostromatales)) by having a distinctly squamulose thallus (similar to a 'Coriscium-type' thallus) with scattered to dense rounded to reniform squamules.
