Species

As of June 2015, Index Fungorum lists 64 valid species of Hysterangium: [3]

Another list can be found in Catalogue of Life, [6] which also lists Hysterangium atratum Rodway 1920 , Hysterangium burburianum Rodway 1918, and others.

A further species, Hysterangium bonobo , has been reported by Elliott et al. in September 2020. [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Russulales</span> Order of fungi

The Russulales are an order of the Agaricomycetes,. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi, the order consists of 12 families, 80 genera, and 1767 species. According to Species Fungorum, the order contains 13 families, 117 genera, and 3,060 species.

<i>Terfezia</i> Genus of fungi

Terfezia is a genus of truffle-like fungi within the Pezizaceae family. Terfezia species are commonly known as desert truffles. Some authorities consider this the type genus of the family Terfeziaceae, although phylogenetic analysis suggests that it nests within the Pezizaceae. The Dictionary of the Fungi suggests that the genus contains 12 species. A recent (2011) publication used molecular analysis to show that the American Terfezia species had been incorrectly classified, and moved Terfezia spinosa and Terfezia longii to Mattirolomyces and Stouffera, respectively; as a result, no Terfezia species are known to exist in North America.

<i>Genea</i> Genus of fungi

Genea is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. There are about 32 species in the genus that occur in North America and Europe. The genus was circumscribed by Italian mycologist Carlo Vittadini in 1831.

<i>Geopyxis</i> Genus of fungi

Geopyxis is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus has a widespread distribution. Molecular phylogenetic studies published in 2007 suggest that the genus is not monophyletic.

<i>Bisporella</i> Genus of fungi

Bisporella is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. As of March 2022, the nomenclatural database Index Fungorum lists 31 species in the genus.

<i>Nectriopsis</i> Genus of fungi

Nectriopsis is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. The number of species in this genus varies between sources. The Dictionary of Fungi lists only 58 species, but the Catalogue of Life includes 72 species.

<i>Cystolepiota</i> Genus of fungi

Cystolepiota is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Agaricaceae.

<i>Merulius</i> Genus of fungi

Merulius is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. As of October 2017, Index Fungorum accepts two species in Merulius: M. debriscola, and the type, M. tremellosus.

<i>Cinereomyces</i> Genus of fungi

Cinereomyces is a genus of resupinate (crust-like) fungi in the family Gelatoporiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1981. Species in the genus have a gray pore surface except for a whitish margin, and skeletal hyphae with gelatinized walls. As of June 2017, Index Fungorum accepts two species of Cinereomyces: the type, C. lindbladii, and C. dilutabilis. The latter species was transferred to Cinereomyces from Diplomitoporus in 2016.

<i>Hapalopilus</i> Genus of fungi

Hapalopilus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ἁπαλός ("tender") and πιλος ("cap"). Hapalopilus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881.

<i>Lenzites</i> Genus of fungi

Lenzites is a widespread genus of wood-decay fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1835. The generic name honours German naturalist Harald Othmar Lenz (1798–1870).

<i>Microporus</i> Genus of fungi

Microporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and, according to a 2008 estimate, contains 11 species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words μικρός ("small") and πόρος ("pore").

<i>Trappea</i> Genus of fungi

Trappea is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the Trappeaceae family. Species of Trappea have been found in China, Europe, and North America.

<i>Leucangium</i> Genus of fungi

Leucangium is a genus of ascomycete fungi. The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1883. Although classified in the Helvellaceae in the past, molecular analysis indicates it is closely related to the genus Fischerula and Imaia, and therefore must be placed in the Morchellaceae. The genus includes two species, Leucangium ophthalmosporum Quél. and L. carthusianum Paol., and both of them produce sequestrate ascoma, globose to ellipsoidal ascus, and dark olive-colored to grayish green, smooth, fusiform ascospores.

<i>Octaviania</i> Genus of fungi

Octaviania is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Boletaceae. The widespread genus is estimated to contain 15 species.

<i>Arcangeliella</i> Genus of fungi

Arcangeliella is a genus of gasteroid fungi in the family Russulaceae. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research has shown that it is very likely a synonym of Lactarius. The type species Arcangeliella borziana was moved to Lactarius in 2003. However, the genus name is still in use for several species for which new combinations have not yet been proposed.

Hysterangium bonobo is a species of fungus found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Also known as simbokilo, the truffle-like species is named for bonobos, one of the species known to eat the fruiting bodies.
