Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze was a German botanist.
Lewis David de Schweinitz was a German-American botanist and mycologist from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Considered the "Father of North American Mycology," he also made significant contributions to botany.
Petter Adolf Karsten was a Finnish mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology".
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.
Sorokina is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 6 species.
Sorokinella is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 2 species.
Sachsia is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum and Saccharomycetales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the phylum is unknown, and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any class, order, or family.
Montagnea is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in subtropical dry areas, and contains six species. Montagnea was circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1836.
Ripartitella is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in Mycologia vol.39 on page 85 in 1947.
Stanglomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Stanglomyces taxophilus, found in South America. The species was described as new to science by Jörg Raithelhuber in 1985.
Skepperiella is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The widespread genus contains four species. The genus was circumscribed by Albert Pilát in Bull. Soc. Mycol. France vol.43 on page 56 in 1927.
Lenzitopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. This genus contains two species, the type Lenzitopsis oxycedri and L. daii, described as new to science in 2012.
Setulipes was a proposed genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. This group of mushrooms, described by the Czech mycologist Vladimír Antonín in 1987, has a widespread distribution in north temperate areas, and would contain about 25 species.
Caripia is a fungal genus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Caripia montagnei, commonly known as the pod parachute. It is found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Formerly classified in the Stereales, molecular analysis published in 2002 demonstrated that the fungus is a reduced form of the closely related Gymnopus.
Albert Julius Otto Penzig, also referred to as Albertus Giulio Ottone Penzig was a German mycologist.
Victor Félix Schiffner was an Austrian bryologist specializing in the study of hepatics.
Marasmius tageticolor is a species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Its fruit bodies have striped red and white caps. It is found in Mexico, Central America, and South America, where it grows on twigs.
Briosia is a genus of ascomycete fungi. The known members of the genus are plant pathogens.
Rhizomorpha is a genus of fungi that was created for species known only by their mycelial cords ("rhizomorphs") and so impossible to classify within the normal taxonomic system, which is based on reproductive structures.
