Macrocystidia is a genus of fungus in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae. The genus contains five species that collectively have a widespread distribution. [1]
Marasmius is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. It contains about 500 species of agarics, of which a few, such as Marasmius oreades, are edible. However, most members of this genus are small, unimpressive brown mushrooms. Their humble appearance contributes to their not being readily distinguishable to non-specialists, and they are therefore seldom collected by mushroom hunters. Several of the species are known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern.
The Marasmiaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which have white spores. They mostly have tough stems and the capability of shrivelling up during a dry period and later recovering. The widely consumed edible fungus Lentinula edodes, the shiitake mushroom, is a member of this family. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 54 genera and 1590 species.
Palaeocephala is a genus of fungi. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Palaeocephala cymatelloides, described by Rolf Singer in 1962. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi, the genus is classified in either the Marasmiaceae or Physalacriaceae families; the taxonomical database MycoBank includes it in the Marasmiaceae.
Anastrophella is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae.
Calathella is a genus of fungi in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi, the genus contains nine species found in Europe and North America. The genus was circumscribed by the English mycologist Derek Reid in 1964.
Chaetocalathus is a genus of fungus in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae.
Epicnaphus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus, circumscribed by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1960, contains two species found in South America. Fruitbodies of Epicnaphus species are similar in appearance to those in Marasmius section Sicci, but have a smooth hymenium and broom cells of the Rotalis-type. Singer initially included only the type species, E. phalaropus, which was originally collected from fallen branches in a Bolivian rainforest. The Argentinian species E. longispora was added to the genus by Jörg Raithelhuber in 1973.
Fissolimbus is a fungal genus in the family Marasmiaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Fissolimbus fallaciosus, found in Papua New Guinea. The genus and species were described as new to science in 1979.
Glabrocyphella is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The widespread genus contains 13 species.
Lecanocybe is a genus of fungus in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lecanocybe lateralis, found in Java and Hawaii.
Metulocyphella is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus contains two species found in South America.
Moniliophthora is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus was described in 1978 with M. roreri as the type species. This fungus, formerly known as Monilia roreri, causes frosty pod rot, a serious disease of Theobroma cacao.
Nochascypha is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus contains six species found in South America.
Nothopanus is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by American mycologist Rolf Singer in 1944.
Phaeodepas is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus contains two species found in Venezuela.
Pleurocybella is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae.
Rectipilus is a genus of cyphelloid fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The widespread genus contains nine species. It was circumscribed by Reinhard Agerer in 1973.
Stromatocyphella is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus contains three species found in North America.
Tetrapyrgos is a genus of fungi in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 16 species.
Campanella is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 40 species.
