Thermoascus aegyptiacus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales. [1]
Before adaptation of the "one fungus - one name" rule, Paecilomyces aegyptiacus referred to the anamorph, while T. aegyptiacus and briefly Coonemeria aegyptiaca referred to the teleomorph.
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans. Fungi can be a source of tinder, food, traditional medicine, as well as entheogens, poison, and infection.
Craterellus is a genus of generally edible fungi similar to the closely related chanterelles, with some new species recently moved from the latter to the former. Both groups lack true gills on the underside of their caps, though they often have gill-like wrinkles and ridges.
Index Fungorum is an international project to index all formal names in the fungus kingdom. As of 2015 the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Paecilomyces is a genus of fungi. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens.
Rhizomorpha subcorticalis is a species name that has been used to characterize certain fungal plant pathogen observations where the pathogen is evident only through mycelial cords ("rhizomorphs"). The species in question very likely also produces reproductive structures which would allow it to be situated in the normal taxonomic tree, especially if DNA analysis is available. A name like R. subcorticalis should only be used where such identification is impossible.
Microdochium panattonianum is a fungal plant pathogen. This pathogen causes anthracnose of lettuce, a disease which produces necrotic lesions in cultivated lettuce. In extended periods of wet weather, M. panattonianum can cause significant crop-losses. The impact of this pathogen is exacerbated by farming lettuce without crop rotation, and by planting of susceptible lettuce varieties, such as Romaine lettuce.
Psilocybe weraroa, formerly Weraroa novae-zelandiae, is a secotioid fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it grows in native forests from rotting wood and woody debris. Despite its pouch-like form this species is closely related to Psilocybe cyanescens and Psilocybe subaeruginosa. As a bluing member of the genus Psilocybe it contains the psychoactive compounds psilocin and psilocybin.
Septobasidium is a fungal genus within the family Septobasidiaceae. Approximately 175 described species are associated with this genus. 227 records are listed by Species Fungorum.
Guepinia is a genus of fungus in the Auriculariales order. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Guepinia helvelloides, commonly known as the apricot jelly. The fungus produces salmon-pink, ear-shaped, gelatinous fruit bodies that grow solitarily or in small tufted groups on soil, usually associated with buried rotting wood. The fruit bodies are 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) tall and up to 17 cm (6.7 in) wide; the stalks are not well-differentiated from the cap. The fungus, although rubbery, is edible, and may be eaten raw with salads, pickled, or candied. It has a white spore deposit, and the oblong to ellipsoid spores measure 9–11 by 5–6 micrometers. The fungus is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, and has also been collected from South America.
Amanita frostiana, also known as Frost's amanita, is a small yellow-to-red fungus found in eastern North America.
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.
Thermoascus is a genus of soil fungi in the family Trichocomaceae. Species in the genus are characterized by the production of heat-resistant ascospores. Thermoascus was circumscribed by German botanist Hugo Miehe in 1907.
Rhizomorpha is a genus of fungi that was created for species known only by their mycelial cords ("rhizomorphs") and so impossible to classify within the normal taxonomic system, which is based on reproductive structures.
Amanita ibotengutake is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Japan. It was first described in 2002 as distinct on a genetic level from A. pantherina, and earlier has been classified under that name.
Purpureocillium takamizusanense is a species of fungus in the genus Purpureocillium in the order of Hypocreales.
Thermoascus crustaceus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus taitungiacus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus thermophilus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus yaguchii is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
