Byssonectria fusispora is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae.
This is a European species appearing as bright yellow-orange discs up to 3 mm in diameter thickly clustered on soil and rotting plant material, often at fire sites.
A lynx is any of the four extant species within the medium-sized wild cat genus Lynx. The name originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word lynx (λύγξ), derived from the Indo-European root leuk-, in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes.
Acrophialophora fusispora is a poorly studied ascomycete fungus found in soil, air and various plants. A. fusispora is morphologically similar to the genera Paecilomyces and Masonia, but differ in the presence of pigmented conidiophores, verticillate phialides, and frequent sympodial proliferation. Moreover, A. fusispora is distinguished by its pigmented spindle-shaped conidia, covered with spiral bands. The fungus is naturally found in soils of tropical to temperate regions. The fungus has been identified as a plant and animal pathogen, and has recently been recognized as an emerging opportunistic human pathogen. A. fusispora infection in human is rare and has few documented clinical cases, but due to the rarity of the fungus and potential misidentification, the infections may be underdiagnosed. Clinical cases of A. fusispora include cases of keratitis, pulmonary colonization and infection, and cerebral infections. The fungus also has two documented cases of infection in dogs.
Great Britain is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-west coast of continental Europe, consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. With an area of 209,331 km2 (80,823 sq mi), it is the largest of the British Isles, the largest European island and the ninth-largest island in the world. It is dominated by a maritime climate with narrow temperature differences between seasons. The island of Ireland, with an area 40 per cent that of Great Britain, is to the west—these islands, along with over 1,000 smaller surrounding islands and named substantial rocks, form the British Isles archipelago.
Byssonectria is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae.
Lepteutypa is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Amphisphaeriaceae. First described by the Austrian mycologist Franz Petrak in 1923, the genus contains 10 species according to a 2008 estimate. It was increased to 15 in 2020.
Keissleriella is a genus of fungi, that was originally placed in the Massarinaceae family, before being placed in the Lentitheciaceae family.
Miyoshiella is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetosphaeriaceae.
Dennisiella is a genus of fungi in the family Coccodiniaceae. It has 9 species. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Augusto Chaves Batista and Raffaele Ciferri in 1962, with Dennisiella babingtonii designated as the type species. The generic name honours British mycologist R. W. G. Dennis. Fungi in this genus are epifoliar; that is, they live on living plant surfaces, particularly leaves.
Crassochaeta is a genus of fungi within the Chaetosphaerellaceae family.
M. indica may refer to:
Coniophora is a genus of fungi within the order Boletales. Basidiocarps are corticioid (patch-forming). There are 20 species in the genus, which has a widespread distribution. One notable member is the cellar fungus (C. puteana), which causes wet rot in wood. Molecular analysis has revealed that there are cryptic species in the fungal lineages Coniophora olivacea, C. arida, and C. puteana.
Vararia is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Lachnocladiaceae. The genus contains over 50 species that collectively have a widespread distribution.
Flagelloscypha is a genus of cyphelloid fungi in the family Niaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains an estimated 25 species.
Nectria peziza or yellow spot is an ascomycete fungus with bright yellow to orange globose fruiting bodies found on rotting polypores, well rotted deadwood, bark, dung, and decaying cloth. Its globular fruiting bodies (peritheca), quite large for the genus, may be isolated or crowded; they have a slightly prominent black dot at the top, the ostiolum, this being the entrance to the inner cavity; the bodies often collapse into a cup-shape when dry and the colour fades to pale yellow or whitish.
Tephrocybe is a genus of about 40 species of mushroom, with a widespread distribution in temperate areas. The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1962.
Hyalorbilia is a genus comprising 10 species of fungi in the family Orbiliaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 2000.
Cocoicola is a genus of fungi within the family Phaeochoraceae.
Pyxidiophora is a genus of arthropod-associated fungi in the family Pyxidiophoraceae. It was circumscribed by mycologists Julius Oscar Brefeld and Franz von tavel in 1891. P. nyctalidis is the type species.
Hypomyces lateritius is a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on certain species of Lactarius mushrooms, improving their flavor and densifying the flesh. Hosts include L. camphoratus, L. chelidonium, L. controversus,L. deliciosus, Lactarius indigo, L. rufus, L. salmonicolor, L. sanguifluus, L. semisanguifluus, L. tabidus, L. trivialis, and L. vinosus.
Skyttea ochrolechiae is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Cordieritidaceae. Found in Japan, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Russian mycologist Mikhail P. Zhurbenko. The fungus grows on the epiphytic lichen Ochrolechia trochophora, but does not visibly damage its host. It is somewhat similar to Skyttea fusispora, but unlike that fungus, it has an orange-brown exciple that stains purple with the K test, and has shorter ascospores, typically measuring 14.7‒18.9 by 3.1‒3.9 μm.
