Weissia levieri is a species of moss in the Pottiaceae family. [2]
Weissia levieri is known from Eurasia and the Maghreb of North-Africa. [2] [3]
Pottiales is an order of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae.
Western Australia has relatively few species of moss; the most recent census found just 192 taxa. This represents just 10% of Australia's total moss flora, even though Western Australia accounts for about one third of the Australia by area. This relatively low diversity has been attributed to the lack of rainforest in the state.
Pannaria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pannariaceae. The widespread genus contains an estimated 51 species, found primarily in tropical regions.
Bellemerella is a genus of fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. All four species are lichenicolous, meaning they grow parasitically on other lichens.
Hericium is a genus of edible mushrooms in the family Hericiaceae. Species in this genus are white and fleshy and grow on dead or dying wood; fruiting bodies resemble a mass of fragile icicle-like spines that are suspended from either a branched supporting framework or from a tough, unbranched cushion of tissue. This distinctive structure has earned Hericium species a variety of common names—monkey's head, lion's mane, and bear's head are examples. Taxonomically, this genus was previously placed within the order Aphyllophorales, but recent molecular studies now place it in the Russulales.
Xanthopyreniaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Collemopsidiales. The family was circumscribed by lichenologist Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1926.
The Lecideaceae are a family of lichens in the order Lecideales.
Trichosphaerella is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Niessliaceae.
Sandeothallus is a small genus of liverworts restricted to East Asia. It is classified in the order of Pallaviciniales and is the only member of the family, Sandeothallaceae within that order.
The Pottiaceae are a family of mosses. They form the most numerous moss family known, containing nearly 1500 species or more than 10% of the 10,000 to 15,000 moss species known.
Morganella is a genus of puffball fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus name honors American botanist Andrew Price Morgan (1836–1907). The widely distributed genus is prevalent in tropical areas. A 2008 estimate placed nine species in Morganella, but several new species have since been described.
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.
Buellia asterella, commonly referred to as the starry breck lichen, is a rare, black and white lichen in the family Caliciaceae. Once found all across the central European grasslands, it was described as new to science in 1974. Today, it is classified by the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered and only found in select regions in Norway and Germany.
Weissia squarrosa is a species of moss belonging to the family Pottiaceae.
Weissia microstoma is a species of moss belonging to the family Pottiaceae.
Weissia multicapsularis, the many-fruited beardless-moss, is an ephemeral moss. It is critically endangered.
Weissia controversa, the green-tufted stubble-moss, is a species of moss in the Pottiaceae family.
Weissia sterilis is a species of moss in the family Pottiaceae. It is found in lowland grasslands in Europe, mainly France and Great Britain. It is classified as a near-threatened species due to habitat degradation, decreasing population size, extensive ploughing and the cessation of grazing.
Weissia ovalis is a species of moss in the Pottiaceae family.
Weissia bizotii is a species of moss in the Pottiaceae family.
