edible fungi species in the grifolaceae family
Grifola frondosa, also known as hen-of-the-woods, sheep's head, ram's head, or maitake (舞茸, "dancing mushroom") in Japanese, is a polypore mushroom that grows at the base of trees, particularly old growth oaks or maples. It is native to China, Europe, and North America. It is an edible mushroom long used in East Asian cuisine and studied for its potential health benefits, though no high-quality clinical evidence supports its medicinal use.
Auricularia mesenterica (Tripe Fungus) (Dicks.) Pers. 1822
fungi species in the auriculariaceae family
Auricularia mesenterica, commonly known as the tripe fungus, is a species of fungus in the family Auriculariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous and typically formed in coalescing tiers on stumps and logs. They are partly pileate, with hirsute, zoned caps, and partly resupinate, with smooth to wrinkled undersurfaces that spread over the wood. Auricularia mesenterica is a saprotroph on dead deciduous trees and shrubs. The species is restricted to Europe and Central Asia.
Gymnosporangium sabinae (Pear Rust) (Dicks.) G. Winter 1884
fungi species in the gymnosporangiaceae family
Gymnosporangium sabinae is a species of rust fungus in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. Known as pear rust, European pear rust, or pear trellis rust, it is a heteroecious plant pathogen with Juniperus sabina (savin juniper) as the main primary (telial) host and Pyrus communis (common pear) as the main secondary (aecial) host.
Battarrea phalloides (Sandy Stilt Puffball) (Dicks.) Pers. 1801
fungi species in the agaricaceae family
Battarrea phalloides is a species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae, and the type species of the genus Battarrea. Its common names include the scaley-stalked puffball, sandy stiltball, and desert stalked puffball. The European B. stevenii is a potential synonym. B. phalloides has a woody, slender, and shaggy or scaly stem that is typically up to 40 centimeters (15.7 in) in length. Although its general appearance resembles an agaric with stem and gills, atop the stem is a spore sac, consisting of a peridium and a powdery internal gleba. In maturity, the spore sac ruptures to release the

Myriostoma coliforme (Pepperpot) (Dicks.) Corda 1842
fungi species in the geastraceae family
Myriostoma coliforme, commonly known as the saltshaker earthstar or pepper pot, is a fungal species in the family Geastraceae. The basidiocarps resemble earthstars, but the spore sac is supported by multiple columns (instead of a single column) and has multiple ostioles instead of a single, apical ostiole. It has also been called "salt-shaker earthstar". The fungus has a north temperate distribution, but was formerly thought to be more widespread due to confusion with related Myriostoma species. It is an uncommon species and appears on the Red Lists of 12 European countries. In 2004 it was
Candelaria concolor (Candleflame Lichen) (Dicks.) Arnold 1879
fungi species in the candelariaceae family

Leocarpus fragilis (Dicks.) Rostaf. 1875
fungi species

fungi species in the caliciaceae family
Diploicia canescens is a widespread species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Caliciaceae. It is found throughout much of the world, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. It is a crustose lichen with distinctive lobed margins that grows in rosettes up to 6 cm (2.4 in) across, appearing white to pale gray with white-pruinose marginal lobes. The species contains various biologically active compounds including depsidones, depsides, and phthalides. It typically grows on rocks, old walls, and tree trunks, particularly favoring nutrient-enriched areas such as birds' perching stones,
