Sparassis crispa is a species of fungus in the family Sparassidaceae. It is sometimes called cauliflower fungus, or cauliflower mushroom.

Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, commonly known as the false chanterelle, is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. Austrian naturalist Franz Xaver von Wulfen described the false chanterelle in 1781, noting both its resemblance with the true chanterelles and people's propensity to confuse them. The false chanterelle was then placed in the genus Clitocybe, but it was later observed that its forked gills and dextrinoid spores indicated a relationship to Paxillus. Genetic analysis has confirmed that it belongs to the order Boletales and is more closely related to boletes. The fruit

Tuber aestivum (summer truffle) or Tuber uncinatum (burgundy truffle) is a species of truffle found across Europe.

Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as hairy turkey tail or hairy bracket, is a species of fungus.

Serpula lacrymans is a species of fungus known for causing dry rot. It is a basidiomycete in the order Boletales.

Strobilurus esculentus is a very common, edible mushroom of the genus Strobilurus. It can often be found in the spring on and around fallen spruce cones.

Cuphophyllus virgineus is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Its recommended English common name is snowy waxcap in the UK. The species has a largely north temperate distribution, occurring in grassland in Europe and in woodland in northern Asia and North America. It typically produces basidiocarps (fruit bodies) in the autumn.

Cortinarius sanguineus, commonly known as the blood red webcap or blood red cortinarius, is a species of fungus in the genus Cortinarius.

Gloeophyllum sepiarium, the rusty gilled polypore, is a wood decay fungus that causes a brown rot.

Gymnosporangium clavariiforme (tongues of fire) is a species of rust fungus which alternately infects Juniperus and hawthorns. In junipers, the primary hosts, G. clavariiforme produces a set of orange tentacle-like spore tubes called telial horns. These horns expand and have a jelly like consistency when wet. The spores are released and travel on the wind until they infect a hawthorn tree. On the secondary hosts, the fungus produces yellowish depressions on the leaves. It also infects the fruit, which grows whitish tubes like a Medusa head. These are the spore tubes. The spores must then

Rhizocarpon petraeum is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. It is widely distributed in Europe. This lichen forms a thin, chalk-white to grey crust that spreads over rock surfaces up to about 5 cm across, with scattered black disc-shaped fruiting bodies that rarely exceed 1 mm in diameter. It grows on sedimentary and volcanic rocks such as trachyte and basalt, and was first described in 1787 from specimens found in various locations across Europe.

Rhizocarpon viridiatrum is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. The species is characterized by its distinctive yellowish-green colouration due to rhizocarpic acid and its parasitic lifestyle, initially growing on other crustose lichens before becoming independent. It forms small, compact thalli rarely exceeding 2 cm across, composed of tiny areoles with scattered black fruiting bodies. The lichen is found across Europe, typically inhabiting siliceous to moderately calcareous rock surfaces such as basalt.

Gyalolechia flavovirescens is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.

Thamnolia taurica is a species of lichen in the family Icmadophilaceae. This alpine lichen forms pale, worm-like structures and occurs in high mountain habitats of the eastern Alps, Tatra Mountains, and western Carpathians. Molecular studies have shown it to be genetically distinct from other whiteworm lichens, having diverged from related lineages between 0.6 and 4.1 million years ago.

Bryobilimbia sanguineoatra is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae. It occurs in Europe.
