<i>Amylocystis</i> Genus of fungi

Amylocystis is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was described in 1944 by mycologists Appollinaris Semenovich Bondartsev and Rolf Singer to contain the type, and at that time, sole species, A. lapponicus. A. unicolor was transferred to the genus in 2003. The generic name Amylocystis is derived from the Ancient Greek words άμυλον ("starch") and χύστιζ ("bladder").

Reimnitzia is a fungal genus in the family Graphidaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single lichen species Reimnitzia santensis. Both the genus and species were described as new to science in 2001 by German lichenologist Klaus Kalb. The genus name honours Michael and Christine Reimnitz, friends of the author who assisted him with his lichen collections. The type species was originally named Theletrema santensis by American Edward Tuckerman, from specimens collected by Henry William Ravenel in South Carolina. The main characteristic of the lichen is the distinct epithecium formed by the densely interwoven upper parts of the paraphyses. Reimnitzia was originally classified in the Thelotremataceae, but that family has since been folded into the Graphidaceae.
