Descolea is a genus of fungi in the family Bolbitiaceae. Described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1952, the widespread genus contains about 15 species. It was formerly placed in the family Cortinariaceae because of its limoniform basidiospores and its ectomycorrhizal lifestyle. A 2013 molecular phylogenetics study by Tóth et al. found it to be closely related to the genus Pholiotina The genus Pseudodescolea, erected for the single Descolea-like species Pseudodescolea lepiotiformis, was formerly considered distinct until a 1990 study found it to be a synonym of Descolea antarctica.

Job Bicknell Ellis was a pioneering North American mycologist known for his study of ascomycetes, especially the grouping of fungi called the Pyrenomycetes. Born and raised in New York, he worked as a teacher and farmer before developing an interest in mycology. He collected specimens extensively, and together with his wife, prepared 200,000 sets of dried fungal samples that were sent out to subscribers in series between 1878 and 1894. Together with colleagues William A. Kellerman and Benjamin Matlack Everhart, he founded the Journal of Mycology in 1885, forerunner to the modern journal Mycologia. He described over 4000 species of fungi, and his collection of over 100,000 specimens is currently housed at the herbarium of the New York Botanical Gardens. Ellis had over 100 taxa of fungi named in his honor.

The species was originally described as Polyporus taxi by Appolinaris Semyonovich Bondartsev in 1940, and was transferred to the genera Hapalopilus, Tyromyces, and Parmastomyces before being made the type of the newly created Bondarcevomyces, published in Mycotaxon Vol.70 on page 219 in 1999.
Atractiella is a genus of fungi in the Phleogenaceae family. The widespread genus contains six species.
Olivea is a genus of rust fungi in the family Chaconiaceae. The widespread genus contains eight species that grow on dicots, especially the tropical flowering plant family Verbenaceae.
Gamsiella is a fungal genus in the Mortierellaceae family of the Zygomycota. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Gamsiella multidivaricata, found in the United States.
Tulasnella is a genus of effused (patch-forming) fungi in the Tulasnellaceae family.
Holwaya is a genus of fungi in the family Bulgariaceae. Holwaya is monotypic, containing the single species Holwaya mucida, which was originally named Bulgaria ophiobolus by Job Bicknell Ellis in 1883, and later transferred to the newly created Holwaya by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889. The genus name of Holwaya is in honour of Edward Willet Dorland Holway (1853-1923), who was an American botanist (Mycology) and Banker.
