Chlorophyllum molybdites, commonly known as the green-spored parasol, green-gill parasol, false parasol, green-spored lepiota and vomiter, is a common species of mushroom found in temperate and subtropical meadows and lawns. The species is poisonous and causes potentially serious vomiting and diarrhea. It is the most commonly consumed poisonous mushroom in North America, often being misidentified as edible species like Chlorophyllum rhacodes (the shaggy parasol) and Macrolepiota procera (parasol mushroom).

Otidea alutacea, commonly known as the brown clustered ear cup, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. The cup is 3–6 cm tall and 2–4 cm wide, normally split on one side to the base, with a wavy margin, brown outside and light brown inside. The spores are colorless. Similar species include Otidea onotica and Guepinia helvelloides. It grows on soil in woodland in western North America and in Europe. It is inedible.

Gloiocephala is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus is widespread, though mainly known from tropical and sub-tropical areas, and contains about 30 species. The mushrooms of this group are very small and grow on stems and leaves of monocotyledonous plants, such as sedges, usually in wet places. In most species their fruiting bodies do not develop into a typical mushroom form - the gills are often reduced to vein-like structures or completely missing, and the stipe may be asymmetrical, short or absent. There are five species which grow in Europe: G. caricis, G. cerkesii,

Asterostroma is a genus of fungi in the Peniophoraceae family. The genus contains 26 species, which collectively have a widespread distribution.

Helvella corium is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. This inedible cup-shaped fungus is black, and grows on the ground often near willows in deciduous or mixed forests.

Mycena olivaceomarginata is a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae. Originally described as Agaricus olivaceomarginata by English mycologist George Edward Massee in 1890, he transferred it to Mycena in 1893. Found in Europe and North America, the mycelium of the fungus is bioluminescent. It was described from Great Britain.

Exobasidium vexans is a plant pathogen affecting tea ("Camellia sinensis"). Blister blight caused by Exobasidium vexans is a devastating leaf disease in tea (Camellia sinensis) in almost all tea growing regions in Asia. This disease causes serious crop losses under inclement weather conditions besides affecting quality of made tea. Although tea cultivars show varying degrees of resistance/susceptibility to blister blight, a cultivar showing total resistance to blister blight has not yet been identified. The mature two-celled basidiospores are very easily dislodged from the sterigmata and are

Protoglossum is a genus of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. Protoglossum was circumscribed by George Edward Massee in 1891.

Gymnoglossum is a genus of fungi in the Bolbitiaceae family of mushrooms.

Geastrum berkeleyi, or Berkeley's earthstar, is an inedible species of mushroom belonging to the genus Geastrum, or earthstar fungi. It can be distinguished from other Geastrum species by the flat bipyramidal shape of the calcium oxalate crystals found on its endoperidium. Despite being a very uncommon mushroom, it has a wide geographical distribution, having been documented in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as Eastern Asia.

Aleurina is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus, which was circumscribed by George Edward Massee in 1898, is synonymous with Jafneadelphus as defined by Mien A. Rifai in 1968. Aleurina is widely distributed and contains 11 species.

Metraria is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Agaricaceae.

Diplocarpa is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. It contains the single species Diplocarpa curreyana, described as new to science by English botanist George Edward Massee in 1895.

Stereum rameale is a plant pathogen infecting peach trees. It is often found in tiers on the dead wood of broad-leaved trees.

Calostoma fuscum is a species of gasteroid fungus in the family Sclerodermataceae. Found in Australia, where it grows mainly in Eucalyptus forests, it was originally described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1839 as Mitremyces fuscus. George Edward Massee transferred it to the genus Calostoma in 1888.

Aspergillus cervinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Cervini section. The species was first described in 1914. It has been reported to produce terremutin, dihydroxy-2,5-toluquinone, xanthocillin, and sclerin.

Hydnum crocidens is a species of fungus in the family Hydnaceae native to Australia. It was described in 1890 by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke from material collected around Port Phillip Bay. Genetic analysis shows it to be closely related to a lineage containing H. rufescens and its close relatives.
