Artomyces nothofagi is a species of coral fungus in the family Auriscalpiaceae. Found in southern Chile, it was described as new to science in 2015 by Richard Kneal and Matthew Smith. The specific epithet nothofagi refers to the substrate it grows on, Nothofagus dombeyi. The species distinguished from other Artomyces species by a combination of smooth spores, largely unbranched fruitbodies, and gloeocystidia that extend beyond the hymenium. Molecular phylogenetic analysis confirms A. nothofagi species is genetically distinct from other members of its genus.

Retiperidiolia is a genus of fungi in the family Nidulariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically under 10 mm in diameter and irregularly spherical. Each produces a number of peridioles which contain the spores and are released from the disintegrating fruit bodies at maturity. Species are usually found growing on herbaceous stems and other plant debris. The genus has a tropical distribution. Species were previously referred to Mycocalia, but molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, found that they were not closely related.

Lepiota viridigleba is a species of sequestrate fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It was first described as new to science by mycologist Michael Castellano in 1995, based on collections made among Populus roots in California. The fungus was initially called Amogaster viridiglebus and tentatively placed in the order Boletales. Molecular analysis revealed the fungus to be a member of the genus Lepiota, and it was transferred to that genus in 2013.
