Fischerula is a genus of two truffle-like fungi in the family Morchellaceae. First described from central Italy by Oreste Mattirolo in 1928, the genus name honors Swiss mycologist Eduard Fischer. The type species Fischerula macrospora is known only from Italy, while Fischerula subcaulis is found in coniferous and mixed forests of Oregon and Washington.
Imaia is a fungal genus in the family Morchellaceae found in Japan, and in the Appalachian Mountains of the US. A monotypic genus, Imaia was circumscribed in 2008 by James Martin Trappe and Gábor M. Kovácsto to contain the truffle-like species formerly known as Terfezia gigantea when molecular analysis demonstrated that its DNA sequences were markedly different from those of Terfezia. The fruit bodies of Imaia gigantea are spherical to roughly elliptical to irregular in shape, brown, and usually develop cracks in age. The interior gleba comprises brown pockets of asci separated by white veins. The spores are spherical or nearly so, up to 70 µm long, and enclosed by a thick epispore.
Megahertzia is a genus of tree in the family Proteaceae. Only one species has been described, Megahertzia amplexicaulis, from North Queensland. It is found in the rainforest.

Antonio Jatta was an Italian politician and lichenologist. After completing his secondary studies at the Classical Lyceum Umberto I in Naples, at the age of 22 he graduated with honours in natural history at the University of Naples and in agriculture at the Royal Higher School of Agriculture in Portici. He was a wealthy landowner who published Flora Italica Cryptogama in several volumes from 1900 to 1909. Jatta identified the lichens that were given in the 1915 list of the lichens of the Maltese Islands, compiled by the botanists Carlo Pietro Stefano Sommier and Alfredo Caruana Gatto. A 1962 publication by William Culberson noted that most of his subgeneric names from the Flora Italica Cryptogama had not been included in Alexander Zahlbruckner's influential 10-volume work Catalog Lichenum Universalis (1922–1940), nor in Elke Mackenzie's 1963 followup work Index Nominum Lichenum. Culberson catalogued 467 of Jatta's names to avoid the future publication of "superfluous or otherwise illegitimate names".
