Parastereopsis is a small genus within the Cantharellaceae, described by E.J.H. Corner in 1976. It is a tropical genus that remains relatively obscure compared to the major chanterelle genera. Its name suggests a resemblance to Stereopsis, and it is placed with the cantharelloid fungi. Little is widely published on its ecology or cultivation potential, but it is maintained as a distinct genus in modern fungal classification systems.
Fruit bodies are typically stereoid or funnel-shaped. The hymenium is smooth to slightly rugose. It is distinguished from related genera by specific hyphal construction and spore characteristics.
