Metatrichia is a genus of slime moulds within the family Trichiaceae. [1] Circumscribed in 1964 by Bruce Ing, [2] the genus currently contains six species. [3]
Acanthaceae is a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are tropical herbs, shrubs, or twining vines; some are epiphytes. Only a few species are distributed in temperate regions. The four main centres of distribution are Indonesia and Malaysia, Africa, Brazil, and Central America. Representatives of the family can be found in nearly every habitat, including dense or open forests, scrublands, wet fields and valleys, sea coast and marine areas, swamps, and mangrove forests.
Fuligo is a widespread genus of plasmodial slime mold in the family Physaraceae. These organisms are protozoans rather than fungi, but for historical reasons are sometimes treated as part of mycology.
Stemonitis is a distinctive genus of slime moulds found throughout the world. They are characterised by the tall brown sporangia, supported on slender stalks, which grow in clusters on rotting wood. The genus was first described by German botanist Johann Gottlieb Gleditsch in 1753. A 2014 estimate suggests that there are 18 species in the genus. Identification within the genus is difficult, and can only be performed with confidence using a microscope or by DNA sequencing. A fossil specimen is known from the mid-Cretaceous.
Aseroe is a small genus of basidiomycete fungi of the family Phallaceae, though sometimes placed in the separate family Clathraceae. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek words Asē/αση 'disgust' and roē/ροη 'juice'. The genus was described with the collection and description of the type species Aseroe rubra in 1800 by French botanist Jacques Labillardière. As with other stinkhorn-like fungi, mature fruiting bodies are covered with olive-brown slime, containing spores, which attracts flies. These fungi are common in mulch and are saprobic.
Leptosiphonium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae. It includes ten species native to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Pararuellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae. It includes 11 species which range from southern China to Vietnam, the Philippines, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Maluku Islands.
Rostafinskia is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. 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.
Eriosphaeria is a genus of fungi in the family Trichosphaeriaceae. Species in this genus are plant pathogens.
Enteridium lycoperdon, the false puffball, is one of the more obvious species of slime mould or Myxogastria, typically seen in its reproductive phase as a white 'swelling' on standing dead trees in the spring, or on large pieces of fallen wood. Alder is a common host.
Eranthemum is a genus of plants in the family Acanthaceae. It includes 23 species native to the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, southern China, Sumatra, and Java.
Collaria is a genus of slime molds in the family Lamprodermataceae.
Hygrophoropsis laevis is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. Found in Malawi, it was described as new to science in 1985.
Collaria elegans is a species of slime mold in the family Lamprodermataceae.
Physarina is a genus of slime molds in the family Physaraceae.
Diderma is a genus of slime molds in the family Didymiaceae. The genus was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1794, and the type species is Diderma globosum.
Badhamiopsis is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Physaraceae.
Craterium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Physaraceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Diachea is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Didymiaceae. The genus was first described in 1825 by Elias Magnus Fries.
Enteridium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Reticulariaceae.
