Neolentinus lepideus is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Neolentinus, until recently also widely known as Lentinus lepideus. Common names for it include scaly sawgill, scaly lentinus and train wrecker.

Wolfiporia extensa (syn. Poria cocos F.A.Wolf), commonly known as hoelen, poria, tuckahoe, China root, fu ling (茯苓, pīnyīn: fúlíng), or matsuhodo, is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a wood-decay fungus but has a subterranean growth habit. It notably develops a large, long-lasting underground sclerotium resembling a small coconut.

Neolentinus is a genus of wood-decaying agarics with tough (leathery to woody) fruit bodies composed of dimitic tissue, serrated lamella edges, and nonamyloid white binucleate basidiospores among other features. It was segregated from Lentinus in the broad taxonomic sense, hence the derivation of the name. Biologically Neolentinus species produce a brown rot type of decay of wood, whereas Lentinus causes a white rot. Molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that the two genera are unrelated. Neolentinus is phylogenetically allied to other brown rot genera such as Gloeophyllum, Heliocybe, and

Cyptotrama asprata (alternatively spelled aspratum), commonly known as the golden-scruffy collybia or spiny woodknight is a saprobic species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This fungus has had a varied taxonomical history, having been placed in fourteen genera before finally settling in Cyptotrama. It is characterized by the bright orange to yellow cap that in young specimens is covered with tufts of fibrils resembling small spikes. This species is differentiated from several other similar members of genus by variations in cap color, and spore size and shape. It is widely

Hericium americanum, commonly known as the bear's head tooth fungus is an edible mushroom in the tooth fungus group. It was described as new to science in 1984 by Canadian mycologist James Herbert Ginns. The fungus is commonly found on decaying trees in the Northern United States and Canada. It grows exceptionally well in the environment of temperate deciduous forests. In the Pacific Northwest, it can be found in October and November. It was designated as Vermont's state mushroom on May 7, 2024.

Thujacorticium is a genus of corticioid fungi in the Cyphellaceae family. The genus, circumscribed by J. Ginns in 1988, contains two species.

Neolentinus ponderosus, commonly known as the giant sawgill, or ponderous lentinus, is a species of fungus in the family Gloeophyllaceae. It was originally described in 1965 as a species of Lentinus by American mycologist Orson K. Miller. It is found in western North America.

Heliocybe is an agaric genus closely allied to Neolentinus and the bracket fungus, Gloeophyllum, all of which cause brown rot of wood. Heliocybe sulcata is the type and sole species.

Wolfiporia sulphurea is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. First described in 1917 as Merulius sulphureus by Edward Angus Burt, it was transferred to the genus Wolfiporia by James Herbert Ginns in 1984.

Ceratobasidium ochroleucum is a species of fungus in the family Ceratobasidiaceae. Basidiocarps are effused and web-like and were originally described from Brazil, causing a thread blight of apple and quince trees. The fungus was subsequently reported as a leaf disease on orchard crops in North America, but since descriptions of Ceratobasidium orchroleucum vary considerably and no type specimen exists, its identity remains unclear. Roberts (1999) considered it a "nomen dubium".
