Queletia mirabilis Fr. (1872) |
Queletia is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1872. [1] Fruit bodies of Queletia species are sequestrate with a thin outer skin (peridium) and a harder inner skin that breaks into small pieces with age. [2] The genus is named after French mycologist Lucien Quélet (1832–1899). [3]
The genus contains three species: [4]

Lepiota is a genus of gilled mushrooms in the family Agaricaceae. All Lepiota species are ground-dwelling saprotrophs with a preference for rich, calcareous soils. Basidiocarps are agaricoid with whitish spores, typically with scaly caps and a ring on the stipe. Around 400 species of Lepiota are currently recognized worldwide. Many species are poisonous, some lethally so.
The Agaricaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi and include the genus Agaricus, as well as basidiomycetes previously classified in the families Tulostomataceae, Lepiotaceae, and Lycoperdaceae.
Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell was a Swedish arachnologist.
Calvatia is a genus of puffball mushrooms that includes the spectacular giant puffball C. gigantea. It was formerly classified within the now-obsolete order Lycoperdales, which, following a restructuring of fungal taxonomy brought about by molecular phylogeny, has been split; the puffballs, Calvatia spp. are now placed in the family Agaricaceae of the order Agaricales.

Chrysops relictus, the twin-lobed deerfly, is a largish European and Asian deerfly of about 8–10.5 millimetres (0.31–0.41 in) length, The larvae feed upon organic matter in damp soils, and are termed hydrobionts in that they inhabit areas of high water content.
Podaxis is a genus of secotioid fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Species, which have the appearance of a "stalked-puffball", have a worldwide distribution, and tend to be found growing solitary or scattered on sandy soils, especially in arid regions. Although close to 50 species have been described, it has been argued that many of them may represent extremes in the natural range of variations found in Podaxis pistillaris.
Nidularia is a genus of nine species of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Their fruit bodies resemble tiny egg-filled bird nests. The name comes from the Latin nidus meaning nest. The related genus Mycocalia was segregated from Nidularia in 1961 based on differences in the microscopic structure of the peridium.
Farriolla 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.
Ancula is a genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Goniodorididae.
Montagnea is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in subtropical dry areas, and contains six species. Montagnea was circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1836.
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.
Bryum elegans is a species of mosses in the family Bryaceae. It is found in Norway, Poland, and the Russian Federation.
Tolumnia is a genus of Asian shield-bugs in the tribe Cappaeini, erected by Carl Stål in 1867.
The Micrelytrinae are a subfamily of true bugs in the family Alydidae, based on the type genus Micrelytra Laporte, 1833. Genera are recorded from the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Phthersigena is an Australasian genus of praying mantids: in the subfamily Fulciniinae and tribe Paraoxypilini. It is one of several genera containing certain species called "unicorn mantids", due to a process on their heads.
Sahlbergella is a genus of African bugs in the family Miridae and tribe Dicyphini.
Odoniella is a genus of African bugs in the family Miridae and tribe Dicyphini.
