Exidia is a genus of fungi in the family Auriculariaceae. Species are saprotrophic, growing on dead attached or recently fallen wood, and produce gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies).

Several species, including the type species Exidia glandulosa, have sterile pegs or pimples on their spore-bearing surface. Others are smooth. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution and around 20 species are currently recognized worldwide. Initial molecular research indicates the...
