The Boletaceae are a family of mushroom-forming fungi, primarily characterised by small pores on the spore-bearing hymenial surface, instead of gills as are found in most agarics. Nearly as widely distributed as the agarics, the family is renowned for hosting some prime edible species highly sought after by mushroom hunters worldwide, such as the cep or king bolete . A number of rare or threatened species are also present in the family, that have become the focus of increasing conservation concerns. As a whole, the typical members of the family are commonly known as boletes.
Fuligo is a widespread genus of plasmodial slime mold in the family Physaraceae. These organisms are protozoans rather than fungi, but for historical reasons are sometimes treated as part of mycology.
Glyptothorax is a genus of catfishes order Siluriformes of the family Sisoridae. It is the most species-rich and widely distributed genus in the family with new species being discovered on a regular basis. These species are distributed in the Black Sea basin, northern Turkey, south and east to the Yangtze River drainage in China and south throughout Indo-China to Java, Indonesia. They are found in Asia Minor and southwards to Southeast Asia. The genus is very diverse in the Indian subcontinent. Southeast Asian species tend to have restricted distributions.
Endogonales is an order of fungi within the phylum of Zygomycota, and in class Endogonomycetes.
Perenniporia is a cosmopolitan genus of bracket-forming or crust-like polypores in the family Polyporaceae. They are dimitic or trimitic with smooth, thick-walled basidiospores and cause a white rot in affected wood.
Monilinia is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae.
Coccomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Rhytismataceae.
Flaviporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.
Achaetomium is a genus of fungi within the Chaetomiaceae family.
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.
Suillellus queletii, commonly known as the deceiving bolete, is an uncommon, edible mushroom in the genus Suillellus.
Stemonitis axifera is a species of slime mold. It fruits in clusters on dead wood, and has distinctive tall reddish-brown sporangia, supported on slender stalks.
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.
Rhytidhysteron is a genus of fungi in the family Patellariaceae. It has 21 species.
Collaria is a genus of slime molds in the family Lamprodermataceae.
Physarina is a genus of slime molds in the family Physaraceae.
Craterium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Physaraceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Enteridium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Reticulariaceae.
Metatrichia is a genus of slime moulds within the family Trichiaceae. Circumscribed in 1964 by Bruce Ing, the genus currently contains six species.
