Preussia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae. [1] The widespread genus contains 51 species that grow on dung or in the soil. [2]

The genus name of Preussia is in honour of Carl Gottlieb Traugott Preuss (1795-1855), who was a German (Prussian) botanist (Algology and Mykology) and Apothecary. He was from 1834 - 1855 an Apothecary in Hoyerswerda. [3]

The genus was circumscribed by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in Hedwigia vol.6 on page 175 in 1867 and previously in Linnaea vol.24 on page 143 in 1851.

The Pyronemataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pezizales. It is the largest family of the Pezizales, encompassing 75 genera and approximately 500 species. Phylogenetic analyses does not support the prior classifications of this family, and suggest that the family is not monophyletic as it is currently circumscribed.

<i>Apiospora</i> Genus of fungi

Apiospora is a genus of fungi which cause plant diseases. It gives its name to the family Apiosporaceae, which contains a number of other genera. This is historically a name for the teleomorph (sexual) life-cycle stage of the fungus; for some species the corresponding anamorph name is Arthrinium.

<i>Coniochaeta</i> Genus of fungi

The Coniochaeta are a genus of pleomorphic yeasts of the order Coniochaetales and are pathogens of trees. Some species have also been found to form endophytic associations within plants in which they live inside plant tissues but do not actually harm the organism. They can take the form of pink to brown colonies, hyphae, conidiophores or sclerotia. In 2013, the Lecythophora were merged with the Coniochaeta, following suggestions by Ziauddin Khan et al.
