Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (teleomorph) and Drechslera tritici-repentis (anamorph) is a necrotrophic plant pathogen of fungal origin, phylum Ascomycota. The pathogen causes a disease originally named yellow spot but now commonly called tan spot, yellow leaf spot, yellow leaf blotch or helminthosporiosis. At least eight races of the pathogen are known to occur based on their virulence on a wheat differential set. The tan (yellow) spot fungus was first described by Nisikado in 1923 in Japan. and was later identified in Europe, Australia and the US, in the mid 1900s. The disease is one of the

The Zoopagaceae are a family of fungi in the Zoopagales order. The family contains 6 genera, and 78 species. The family was circumscribed in 1938.

The fungal genus Cochliobolus includes 19 species, it includes some plant pathogenic species such as Cochliobolus heterostrophus. A lot of former Cochliobolus species were transferred to either Curvularia or Bipolaris genera. Cochliobolus heterostrophus is known from "southern corn blight" which affects corn and maize.

Alternaria radicina is a fungal plant pathogen infecting carrots.

Nematoctonus (the name of which means 'nematode murderer') was a genus of fungi in the Pleurotaceae family, which is now considered a synonym of Hohenbuehelia. Originally the generic name —an anamorphic form of Hohenbuehelia—has a widespread distribution and contains 16 species. Under the one fungus - one name convention, the correct name for the group is Hohenbuehelia and species where the fruitbodies have not been discovered or that are older names for those described as fruitbodies have all been transferred to Hohenbuehelia.

Cochliobolus heterostrophus is a fungal plant pathogen. It can cause southern corn leaf blight in maize. Cochliobolus heterostrophus is found in many tropical regions and in the southern part of the US. Cochliobolus, although not currently the most economically serious disease, can be a very serious crop disease. C. heterostrophus (race O) was considered a mild pathogen of corn, and was of little worry to those growing maize crops. It was not until the 1970s that C. heterostrophus (race T) destroyed more than 15% of the U.S. corn crop. Race T differed from race O in the sense that it produced

Acaulopage is a genus in the former Zygomycota that preys on amoeba.

Stylopage is a polytypic genus of predacious fungus in the order Zoopagales, within the subphylum Zoopagomycotina. All known species of Stylopage subsist on various species of amoebae or nematodes by trapping their prey, typically using an adhesive substance that coats their vegetative hyphae, and absorbing nutrients through the projection of a haustorium. 17 extant Stylopage species have been described thus far.

Conidiobolus incongruus is a member of the genus Conidiobolus. It is one of the three known Conidiobolus species (the other two being C. coronatus and C. lamprauges) associated with conidiobolomycosis. C. incongruus are thermophilic fungi and are commonly found in the soil and decaying plant matter of tropical and subtropical areas. They are most prevalent in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. In the conditions of high humidity, sunlight, and high temperatures, their sticky conidia are ejected and attach to the skin of passing insects or animals, including mammals. They infect their

Arthrobotrys dactyloides is a species of fungus in the family Orbiliaceae. It is nematophagous, forming loops of hypha to trap nematodes, on which it then feeds.

Pyrenophora teres is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen of some plant species, the most significant of which are economically important agricultural crops such as barley. Toxins include aspergillomarasmine A and related compounds.

Arthrobotrys musiformis (/aɹ.θɹoʊ'ba.tɹıs mju.sı'foɹ.mıs/) is a species of nematode catching fungi, genus Arthrobotrys (from Greek, meaning "jointed bunch of grapes"). This, like other Arthrobotrys species, captures and feeds on nematodes. It is widespread, with its initial discovery being in Norfolk, Virginia. This species demonstrates promising anti-helminth potential, and is hypothesized to reduce the number of parasitic nematodes in plants and livestock as either a biocontrol or through isolating metabolites.
