Aleurina is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus, which was circumscribed by George Edward Massee in 1898, [2] is synonymous with Jafneadelphus as defined by Mien A. Rifai in 1968. [3] Aleurina is widely distributed and contains 11 species. [4]
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as a source for tinder, traditional medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection.
Chlorophyllum is a genus of large agarics similar in appearance to the true parasol mushroom. Chlorophyllum was originally coined in 1898, a time when spore color was the deciding factor for differentiating genera. It was termed in order to describe the poisonous green-spored C. molybdites which shared many characteristics of the mushrooms within the genus Lepiota but lacked the all important white spores. The name derives from Greek Chloro meaning green and phyllo meaning leaf. It remained as a monotypic genus until recently when modern DNA analyses concluded that many of the mushrooms contained in the genus Macrolepiota actually had more in common genetically with the Chlorophyllum molybdites than with the other members of the Macrolepiota. The genus has a widespread distribution, with many species found in tropical regions. The best known members are the edible shaggy parasol, a name applied to three very similar species Chlorophyllum rhacodes, C. olivieri and C. brunneum, and the poisonous C. molybdites, which is widespread in subtropical regions around the world.
The International Mycological Institute was a non-profit organisation, based in England, that undertook research and disseminated information on fungi, particularly plant pathogenic species causing crop diseases. It was established as the Imperial Bureau of Mycology at Kew in 1920 and amalgamated with CAB International in 1998.

Byssonectria is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae.
Nothojafnea is a genus of two species of cup fungi. It was originally described by Indonesian mycologist Mien Achmad Rifai in 1968 to contain the type species Nothojafnea cryptotricha, found in Australia. N. thaxteri, known from Chile and Argentina, was added to the genus in 1971. Both species are thought to be ectomycorrhizal; N. cryptotricha associates with Myrtaceae, while N. thaxteri is found with Nothofagus.
Entoloma rodwayi, known as the green stem pinkgill, is a species of fungus in the Entolomataceae family of mushrooms. A yellowish green mushroom with pink gills and spores, it is found in wet forests of Tasmania.
Conidiosporomyces is a genus of fungi in the smut family Tilletiaceae. The genus was described in 1992 to accommodate the species formerly known as Tilletia ayresii, first described by British naturalist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1899. The species C. verruculosus was described in 1993. Species in the genus are plant pathogens that affect various grasses.

Tylopilus funerarius is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Found in Singapore, it was described as new to science in 1909 by English mycologist George Edward Massee. He described it as a "sombre, uninviting species, characterised by brownish-black velvety pileus and brown tube and pores", and considered it similar in appearance to Boletus chrysenteron. The species was transferred to the genus Tylopilus in 1981.
Crocinoboletus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. Circumscribed in 2014, it contains two species: Crocinoboletus laetissimus, and the type, C. rufoaureus. This latter bolete was originally described by George Edward Massee in 1909 from collections made in Singapore. The genus is readily characterized by bright orange fruitbodies that readily stain blue-olive when injured, and smooth spores. The cap cuticle is made of a trichoderm in the middle part of the cap, and a cutis at the cap margin. The intense orange color of the fruitbodies is caused by boletocrocin pigments.
Macrocybe gigantea is a species of mushroom that is native to India, Pakistan, and Nepal.
Léon Louis Rolland was a French mycologist.
Aspergillus cervinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Cervini section. The species was first described in 1914. It has been reported to produce terremutin, dihydroxy-2,5-toluquinone, xanthocillin, and sclerin.
Cordieritidaceae is a family of fungi in the order Cyttariales. Species in this family are saprobes or lichenicolous.
