Notes
  1. ↑ Conventional mean to indicate that the taxonomic date of publication for the purpose of priority is different from the date given by the work itself.
  2. ↑ This illegitimate name is a later homonym of a genus of fossil algae (Florin, Senckenbergiana11:241–266, 1929). The genus also appears to be polyphyletic, but the affinities of its type species are currently unknown, leaving its final placement uncertain (Yamaguchi et al., Mycoscience50(3)156–164, 2009; Sulzbacher & al., Mycotaxon105:37–42, 2008).
  3. ↑ This species' type is now considered to fall within Crinipellis scabella .
  4. ↑ The former proposed genus Setulipes is now incorporated into Gymnopus (though some name combinations may remain to be correctly defined). Even Antonín, the author of Setulipes, agrees with this change (see Antonín, Vladimír; Noordeloos, Machiel E. (2010). A monograph of marasmioid fungi and collybioid fungi in Europe.

  5. ↑ A replacement name for Solenia Pers. (Neues Mag. Bot.1:116, 1796), a quasi homonym of the small Cucurbitaceae genus Solena Lour. (Fl. Cochinch.2:514, 1790).
  6. ↑ A synonym of Lentinula boryana .
  7. ↑ Depending on the circumscription of Asian species.
  8. ↑ The placement of this genus within Agaricales is not entirely clear. It might belong in the Physalacriaceae.
  9. ↑ Because the type appears to remain in the author's private collection, it is not clear whether the publication is considered valid under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
  10. ↑ A replacement name for Georges Métrod's Pterospora (Les Mycènes de Madagascar:129, 1949), which was already in use as Pterospora Nutt. (Gen. N. Amer. Pl.1:269, 1818).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rolf Singer</span> German mycologist (1906–1994)

Rolf Singer was a German-born mycologist and one of the most important taxonomists of gilled mushrooms (agarics) in the 20th century.

Camarophyllopsis is a genus of agarics in the family Clavariaceae. Basidiocarps are dull-coloured and have dry caps, rather distant, decurrent lamellae, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe species are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands which are a declining habitat, making them of conservation concern.

<i>Macrolepiota</i> Genus of fungi

Macrolepiota is a genus of white spored, gilled mushrooms of the family Agaricaceae. The best-known member is the parasol mushroom (M. procera). The widespread genus contains about 40 species.

<i>Melanoleuca</i> Genus of fungi

Melanoleuca is a poorly known genus of saprotrophic mushrooms traditionally classified in the family Tricholomataceae. Most are small to medium sized, white, brown, ocher or gray with a cylindrical to subcylindrical stipe and white to pale yellowish gills. The basidiospores are ellipsoid and ornamented with amyloid warts. Melanoleuca is considered a difficult group to study due to their macroscopic similarities among species and the need of a thorough microscopic analysis to separate species. DNA studies have determined that this genus is closely related to Amanita and Pluteus and that it does not belong to the family Tricholomataceae.

<i>Crepidotus</i> Genus of fungi

Crepidotus is a genus of fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. Species of Crepidotus all have small, convex to fan-shaped sessile caps and grow on wood or plant debris. The genus has been studied extensively, and monographs of the North American, European and Neotropical species have been published.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Physalacriaceae</span> Family of fungi

The Physalacriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, ranging from the Arctic, (Rhizomarasmius), to the tropics, e.g. Gloiocephala, and from marine sites (Mycaureola) and fresh waters (Gloiocephala) to semiarid forests (Xerula).

<i>Hygrophoropsis</i> Genus of fungi

Hygrophoropsis is a genus of gilled fungi in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It was circumscribed in 1888 to contain the type species, H. aurantiaca, a widespread fungus that, based on its appearance, has been affiliated with Cantharellus, Clitocybe, and Paxillus. Modern molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that the genus belongs to the suborder Coniophorineae of the order Boletales.

<i>Rhizomarasmius</i> Genus of fungi

Rhizomarasmius is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae, containing about five species.

<i>Epithele</i> Genus of fungi

Epithele is a genus of crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cyphelloid fungi</span> Group of fungi

The cyphelloid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota that have disc-, tube-, or cup-shaped basidiocarps, resembling species of discomycetes in the Ascomycota. They were originally referred to the genus Cyphella and subsequently to the family Cyphellaceae, but are now known to be much more diverse and are spread through several different genera and families. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to call them by the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "cyphelloid fungi". Better known cyphelloid genera include Calyptella, with stalked, cup- or bell-like fruit bodies; Lachnella, with conspicuous, hairy-margined, disc-like fruit bodies; Flagelloscypha with smaller, but equally hairy, cup-like fruit bodies; Henningsomyces with tube-like fruit bodies; and Merismodes with clustered, hairy, cup-like fruit bodies.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Meinhard Michael Moser</span> Austrian mycologist

Meinhard Michael Moser was an Austrian mycologist. His work principally concerned the taxonomy, chemistry, and toxicity of the gilled mushrooms (Agaricales), especially those of the genus Cortinarius, and the ecology of ectomycorrhizal relationships. His contributions to the Kleine Kryptogamenflora von Mitteleuropa series of mycological guidebooks were well regarded and widely used. In particular, his 1953 Blätter- und Bauchpilze [The Gilled and Gasteroid Fungi ], which became known as simply "Moser", saw several editions in both the original German and in translation. Other important works included a 1960 monograph on the genus Phlegmacium and a 1975 study of members of Cortinarius, Dermocybe, and Stephanopus in South America, co-authored with the mycologist Egon Horak.

Egon Horak is an Austrian mycologist who has described more than 1000 species of fungi, including many from the Southern Hemisphere, particularly New Zealand and South America. He was an executive editor of the scientific journal Sydowia from 1975 to 1989, and a member of the editorial board afterwards.

Heteroscypha is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species form cup-shaped, cyphelloid basidiocarps with basidia that are wholly or partly septate. They are presumed to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood. Originally described in the Tremellales, the genus was placed in its own family, the Heteroscyphaceae, by Jülich and included within the Auriculariales by Wells. Further research is required to determine its true disposition.
