Fuligo is a widespread genus of plasmodial slime mold in the family Physaraceae. [1] These organisms are protozoans rather than fungi, but for historical reasons are sometimes treated as part of mycology.

<i>Calvatia</i> Genus of fungi

Calvatia is a genus of puffball mushrooms that includes the spectacular giant puffball C. gigantea. It was formerly classified within the now-obsolete order Lycoperdales, which, following a restructuring of fungal taxonomy brought about by molecular phylogeny, has been split; the puffballs, Calvatia spp. are now placed in the family Agaricaceae of the order Agaricales.

<i>Perenniporia</i> Genus of fungi

Perenniporia is a cosmopolitan genus of bracket-forming or crust-like polypores in the family Polyporaceae. They are dimitic or trimitic with smooth, thick-walled basidiospores and cause a white rot in affected wood.

<i>Daedalea</i> Genus of fungi

Daedalea is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1801 by mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon, based on the type D. quercina and four other species. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek δαιδαλεος.

<i>Postia</i> Genus of fungi

Postia is a genus of brown rot fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

<i>Phlebia</i> Genus of fungi

Phlebia is a genus of mostly crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution. Phlebia species cause white rot.

<i>Dacryobolus</i> Genus of fungi

Dacryobolus is a genus of crust fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Elias Fries circumscribed the genus in 1849 with Dacryobolus sudans as the type species. Dacryobolus are wood-decay fungi that cause a brown rot.

<i>Ceriporia</i> Genus of fungi

Ceriporia is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi.

<i>Comatricha</i> Genus of slime moulds

Comatricha is a genus of slime molds in the family Amaurochaetaceae. As of 2015, Index Fungorum includes 39 species in the genus.

Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

<i>Amaurodon</i> Genus of fungi

Amaurodon is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. Species in the genus have resupinate and corticioid fruit bodies that grow on rotting wood. The hymenophore may have pores, teeth, or be smooth, and is typically blue to green in color.

<i>Thelephora</i> Genus of fungi

Thelephora is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species. Fruit bodies of species are leathery, usually brownish at maturity, and range in shape from coral-like tufts to having distinct caps. Almost all species in the genus are thought to be inedible, but Thelephora ganbajun is a gourmet fungus in Yunnan province of southwest China.

<i>Collybia cirrhata</i> Species of fungus

Collybia cirrhata is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae of the order Agaricales. The species was first described in the scientific literature in 1786, but was not validly named until 1803. Found in Europe, Northern Eurasia, and North America, it is known from temperate, boreal, and alpine or arctic habitats. It is a saprobic species that grows in clusters on the decaying or blackened remains of other mushrooms. The fruit bodies are small, with whitish convex to flattened caps up to 11 mm in diameter, narrow white gills, and slender whitish stems 8–25 mm long and up to 2 mm (0.08 in) thick. C. cirrhata can be distinguished from the other two members of Collybia by the absence of a sclerotium at the base of the stem. The mushroom, although not poisonous, is considered inedible because of its insubstantial size.
