Cudoniella is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. [3] The genus contains an estimated 30 species. [4] Cudoniella was circumscribed by mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889. [5]
Pier Andrea Saccardo was an Italian botanist and mycologist. He was also the author of a color classification system that he called Chromotaxia. He was elected to the Linnean Society in 1916 as a foreign member. His multi-volume Sylloge Fungorum was one of the first attempts to produce a comprehensive treatise on the fungi which made use of the spore-bearing structures for classification.
Blastocladiomycota is one of the currently recognized phyla within the kingdom Fungi. Blastocladiomycota was originally the order Blastocladiales within the phylum Chytridiomycota until molecular and zoospore ultrastructural characters were used to demonstrate it was not monophyletic with Chytridiomycota. The order was first erected by Petersen for a single genus, Blastocladia, which was originally considered a member of the oomycetes. Accordingly, members of Blastocladiomycota are often referred to colloquially as "chytrids." However, some feel "chytrid" should refer only to members of Chytridiomycota. Thus, members of Blastocladiomyota are commonly called "blastoclads" by mycologists. Alternatively, members of Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Neocallimastigomycota lumped together as the zoosporic true fungi. Blastocladiomycota contains 5 families and approximately 12 genera. This early diverging branch of kingdom Fungi is the first to exhibit alternation of generations. As well, two (once) popular model organisms—Allomyces macrogynus and Blastocladiella emersonii—belong to this phylum.

Gnomoniella is a genus of fungi in the family Gnomoniaceae. The genus contains 13 species. Gnomoniopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Gnomoniaceae including:
Harknessiella is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Harknessiella purpurea.
Thyridaria is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown. Also, the placement of this genus within the Dothideomycetes is uncertain. The genus was first described by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1875.
The Polystomellaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes.
Cocconia is a genus of fungi in the family Parmulariaceae.
Pseudoplectania is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The genus contains 12 species. Pseudoplectania ryvardenii was described in 2012, while Pseudoplectania carranzae was transferred to the genus in 2013.
The Saccardiaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty . They have a worldwide distribution.
Venturiocistella is a genus of fungi within the Hyphodiscaceae family. The genus contained seven species. Then 8 species in 2022.
Holwaya is a genus of fungi in the family Bulgariaceae. Holwaya is monotypic, containing the single species Holwaya mucida, which was originally named Bulgaria ophiobolus by Job Bicknell Ellis in 1883, and later transferred to the newly created Holwaya by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889. The genus name of Holwaya is in honour of Edward Willet Dorland Holway (1853-1923), who was an American botanist (Mycology) and Banker.
Amanita ochrophylla is a fungus of the family Amanitaceae native to southeastern Australia. Its large and distinctive buff fruit bodies are common after rainfall.
Amanita ananiceps is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Australia.
Cudoniella clavus is a species of fungus in the family Helotiaceae. It was first described in 1805 by Johannes Baptista von Albertini and Lewis David de Schweinitz as Peziza clavus. British mycologist R. W. G. Dennis transferred it to Cudoniella in 1964. Fruit bodies of the jelly-like fungus consist of a disc-like cap measuring 0.4–1.2 cm with a thin stipe. They are usually cream in colour, sometimes with hints of ochre or violet. They grow on rotting twigs, stems, leaves, and cones that are submerged in water. Cudoniella clavus is a widespread and common species. It is inedible.
Geopyxis vulcanalis, commonly known as the vulcan pixie cup, is a species of cup fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It was first described scientifically in 1878 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, from collections made in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York. Pier Andrea Saccardo transferred it to the genus Geopyxis in 1889. Fruitbodies of G. vulcanalis are small and cup-like, with a light yellow hymenium. They become somewhat flattened in age. It grows on the ground in unburned conifer litter, often with mosses. Its spores are smooth and elliptical, measuring 14–21 by 8–11 µm.
Augusto Napoleone Berlese was an Italian botanist and mycologist. He was the brother of entomologist Antonio Berlese 1863–1927, with whom he founded the journal Rivista di patologia vegetale in 1892.
