Mucronella fusiformis is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was first described in 1926 by C. H. Kauffman as Myxomycidium fusiformis and the holotype collection is from Mount Hood in Oregon. Mycologist K.A. Harrison transferred it to Mucronella in 1972. [1]
Index Fungorum is an international project to index all formal names in the fungus kingdom. As of 2015 the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The Clavariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Originally the family contained most of the clavarioid fungi, but in its current sense is more restricted, albeit with a greater diversity of basidiocarp forms. Basidiocarps are variously clavarioid or agaricoid (mushroom-shaped), less commonly corticioid or hydnoid.
Claviceps fusiformis is a plant pathogen.
Donacaula mucronella is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It is found in Europe.
Pseudocolus fusiformis is a stinkhorn mushroom in the Phallaceae, a family well known for a remarkable range of fruit body types. It is the most widely distributed member of the genus Pseudocolus and has been found in the United States, Australia, Japan, Java, and the Philippines. It is commonly known as the stinky squid, because of its fetid odor, and its three or four upright "arms" which are connected at the top. The malodorous smell comes from the dark greenish slimy gleba covering the inside faces of the arms, and attracts insects that help to disperse the spores.
Aniptodera is a genus of fungi in the Halosphaeriaceae family. The genus contained nine species in 2008, by 2023 it had increased to 19 species.
Teichospora is a genus of fungi in the family Teichosporaceae.
Semifissispora is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. It was placed in Massarinaceae family and was accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020;
Comatricha is a genus of slime molds in the family Amaurochaetaceae. As of 2015, Index Fungorum includes 39 species in the genus.
Ascotaiwania is a genus of fungi in the Sordariomycetes class of the Ascomycota. In 2020, it was placed in the order Savoryellales and family of Savoryellaceae.
Ascosphaera is a genus of fungi in the family Ascosphaeraceae. It was described in 1955 by mycologists Charles F. Spiltoir and Lindsay S. Olive. Members of the genus are insect pathogens. The type species, A. apis, causes chalkbrood disease in honey bees. The reproductive ascospores of the fungus are produced within a unique structure, the spore cyst, or sporocyst.
Clavulinopsis is a genus of coral fungi in the family Clavariaceae. The genus, first described scientifically by Casper van Overeem in 1923, has a widespread distribution.
Mucronella is a genus of fungi in the family Clavariaceae. Species in the genus resemble awl-shaped teeth that grow in groups without a common subiculum.
Maravalia is a genus of rust fungi in the Chaconiaceae family. The widespread genus contains about 35 species that grow on angiosperms.
Mucronella flava is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was originally described by English mycologist E.J.H. Corner in 1953.
Clavulinopsis fusiformis is a clavarioid fungus in the family Clavariaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of golden spindles. In North America it has also been called spindle-shaped yellow coral or golden fairy spindle. Clavulinopsis fusiformis forms cylindrical, bright yellow fruit bodies that grow in dense clusters on the ground in agriculturally unimproved grassland or in woodland litter. It was originally described from England and is part of a species complex as yet unresolved.
Mucronella pendula is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was first described in 1901 by George Edward Massee as Myxomycidium pendulum and the holotype collection is from Tasmania. American mycologist Ron H. Petersen transferred it to Mucronella in 1980.
Salpa fusiformis, sometimes known as the common salp, is the most widespread species of salp. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, and can be found at depths of 0 to 800 m. They exhibit diel vertical migration, moving closer to the surface at night. They can occur in very dense swarms, as solitary zooids or as colonies. Solitary zooids usually measure 22 to 52 mm in length. They are barrel-shaped and elongated, with a rounded front and a flat rear. Aggregate zooids are 7 to 52 mm in length individually. They are usually barrel or spindle-shaped.
Mucronella bresadolae is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was originally described by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1888 as Clavaria bresadolae. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus Mucronella in 1970. It is found in Europe and North America.
