Galerina is a genus of small brown-spore saprobic mushroom-bearing fungi, with over 300 species found throughout the world. Galerina mushrooms are typically small and hygrophanous, with a slender and brittle stem. They are often found growing on wood, and when on the ground have a preference for mossy habitats. The genus is noted for some extremely poisonous species which are occasionally confused with hallucinogenic species of Psilocybe or with edible species. Prior to 1909, the genus was known as Galera, however, this was an invalid name due to the name being used earlier for a genus of

Limacella is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Amanitaceae in order Agaricales. Some of the species have been classified as members of genus Lepiota. Limacella was described by mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909. In some older classification schemes, Limacella has alternatively been placed in family Pluteaceae. The species formerly classified in the genus Limacella are now placed in 4 genera; Catatrama, Limacellopsis, Limacella, and Zhuliangomyces.

Lentinula is a small genus of wood-inhabiting agarics. The neotropical species Lentinula boryana (= L. cubensis) is the type species. However, the best-known species is L. edodes, the shiitake. The genus was erected by Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909, and as of 2023 contains ten species, principally found in tropical regions.

Chamaemyces is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in 1906.

Mycetinis is a genus of fungus in the Omphalotaceae family, containing about eight species formerly classified in Marasmius.

Merismodes is a genus of fungi in the Cyphellopsidaceae family. It was previously included in the Niaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 20 species.

Tectella is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The genus is widely distributed in northern temperate regions, and contains three species.

Flammulaster is a genus of agaricoid fungi in the family Tubariaceae. It was formerly thought to belong in the family Inocybaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains 20 species. Flammulaster was circumscribed by American mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909.

Chamaeota is a genus in the Pluteaceae family of small- to medium-sized mushrooms. They have a central stipe, free gills, smooth pink spores, and a partial veil that usually forms an annulus (ring) on the stipe. Chamaeota can be distinguished from Volvariella by its lack of a volva and from Entolomataceae by its free gills and smooth spores. Members of Chamaeota are extremely rare. Most species are tropical but at least two species exist in the United States. The type species is Chamaeota xanthogramma (Ces.) Earle [as 'xanthogrammus'] (1909).

Galerella is a genus of fungi in the Bolbitiaceae family. The widespread genus contains six species.

Collybiopsis is a resurrected genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Omphalotaceae.

Resupinatus is a genus of fungi in the family Resupinataceae, of which it is the only member. Species are saprobic, and often found growing on the underside of decaying wood or sides of decaying woody substrates. The generic name is derived from the Latin resupinus (bent backward, inverted).

Phyllosticta minima is a fungus of the division Ascomycota which causes purple-bordered leaf spot, a largely cosmetic disease that infects maple trees. It grows on living and fallen leaves, creating tan, ovular lesions 1⁄4 inch in diameter and ringed with 'purple' or black spores.
