Stereum is type genus of the Stereaceae family of fungi, in the Russulales order. Until recently, the genus was classified in the Corticiaceae family, of the Corticiales order. However, it was given its own family as a result of the split-up of the Corticiales. Common names for species of this genus include leaf fungus, wax fungus, and shelf fungus. Fungi having a shape similar to a Stereum are said to have a stereoid shape. Stereum contains 27 species that have a widespread distribution.
Terfezia is a genus of truffle-like fungi within the Pezizaceae family. Terfezia species are commonly known as desert truffles. Some authorities consider this the type genus of the family Terfeziaceae, although phylogenetic analysis suggests that it nests within the Pezizaceae. The Dictionary of the Fungi suggests that the genus contains 12 species. A recent (2011) publication used molecular analysis to show that the American Terfezia species had been incorrectly classified, and moved Terfezia spinosa and Terfezia longii to Mattirolomyces and Stouffera, respectively; as a result, no Terfezia species are known to exist in North America.
Leucocoprinus is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its best-known member is the yellow pot-plant mushroom, found worldwide. The type species is Leucocoprinus cepistipes. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 40 species. It includes some highly derived cultivars grown by the Acromyrmex and Atta leaf-cutting ants in an evolved ant–fungus mutualism.
Heterodermia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Physciaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 80 species.
Engleromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. The genus contains two species, the type Engleromyces goetzei and E. sinensis, described as new in 2010. The genus was described in 1900 by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings.
Lecidella is a genus of lichens in the family Lecanoraceae. The widespread genus contains about 80 species.
Coccomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Rhytismataceae.
Gigasperma is a monotypic genus of fungi in the order Agaricales with a single species, G. cryptica. It is treated either as the only genus in the monotypic family Gigaspermaceae, or part of the wider Cortinariaceae. Gigasperma was circumscribed by Austrian mycologist Egon Horak in 1971.
Leucoagaricus is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus contains approximately 90 species.
Leucoinocybe is a fungal genus in the family Tricholomataceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Leucoinocybe lenta, found in Europe.
Hapalopilus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ἁπαλός ("tender") and πιλος ("cap"). Hapalopilus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881.
Arthopyrenia is a genus of fungi within the Arthopyreniaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains about 117 species.
Pistillina is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. The genus has a widespread distribution in northern temperate areas and contains four species.
Pistillaria is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. The genus has a widespread distribution in northern temperate areas, and contains about 50 species. Pistillaria was defined by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821.
Hymenogloea is a fungal genus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Hymenogloea riofrioi, found in tropical America.
Xeromphalina is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains about 30 species.
Pyrrhoderma is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It contains two species found in Japan.
Saproamanita nauseosa is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae. First described by English mycologist Elsie Maud Wakefield in 1918 as a species of Lepiota, it was named for its nauseating odor. The type specimen was found growing on soil in the Nepenthes greenhouse at Kew Gardens. Derek Reid transferred the species to Amanita in 1966, and then in 2016 the separate genus Saproamanita was created by Redhead et al. for saprophytic Amanitas and it was transferred to this new genus.
Bondarzewia guaitecasensis is a species of polypore fungus in the family Russulaceae that is found in South America. Originally described as Polyporus guaitecasensis by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1900, it was transferred to the genus Bondarzewia by Jorge Eduardo Wright in 1964. The fungus is parasitic on species of Nothofagus.
