Tremella fuciformis is a species of fungus commonly known as snow fungus, snow ear, silver ear fungus, white jelly mushroom, and white cloud ears. It produces white, frond-like, gelatinous fruit bodies. The species is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can be found on the dead branches of broadleaf trees. It is a parasitic yeast, and grows as a slimy, mucus-like film until it encounters its preferred hosts, various species of Annulohypoxylon (or possibly Hypoxylon) fungi, whereupon it then invades, triggering the aggressive mycelial growth required to form the fruiting bodies.

Strobilomyces strobilaceus, also called Strobilomyces floccopus and commonly known as old man of the woods, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The fruit bodies are characterized by soft, dark scales on the cap surface. The species is native to Eurasia and North America.

Hemileia vastatrix is a multicellular basidiomycete fungus of the order Pucciniales (previously also known as Uredinales) that causes coffee leaf rust (CLR), a disease affecting the coffee plant. Coffee serves as the obligate host of coffee rust, that is, the rust must have access to and come into physical contact with coffee (Coffea sp.) in order to survive. CLR is one of the most economically important diseases of coffee, worldwide. Previous epidemics have destroyed coffee production of entire countries. In more recent history, an epidemic in Central America in 2012 reduced the region's

Strobilomyces is a genus of boletes (mushrooms having a spongy mass of pores under the cap). The only well-known European species is the type species S. strobilaceus (also named S. floccopus), known in English as "old man of the woods". Members of the genus can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the cap and stipe are covered in soft hairy or woolly scales, while most boletes have smooth elongated spores, those of Strobilomyces are roughly spherical and prominently ornamented, and as might be expected from its "dry" fibrous appearance, it is resistant to decay (whereas most

Laccaria is a genus around 100 species of fungus found in both temperate and tropical regions of the world. They are mycorrhizal. The type species is Laccaria laccata, commonly known as the deceiver. Other notable species include L. bicolor, and the amethyst deceiver (L. amethystina), sometimes incorrectly written as L. amethystea. Because some Laccaria species have the ability to grow vegetatively and/or germinate from basidiospores in culture, they are often used as experimental systems for studies of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes. They have a tetrapolar mating system, meaning that the

Dacrymyces chrysospermus is a species of jelly fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae. In the UK it has the recommended English name of orange jelly spot; in North America it is known as orange jelly or orange witch's butter.

Marasmius wynneae (sometimes incorrectly spelt Marasmius wynnei) is a species of gilled mushroom found in European woods.

Lactarius scoticus is a member of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. It is found in Europe, where it grows in peat bogs in a mycorrhizal association with birch.

Hydnotrya is a genus of ascomycete fungi related to the false morels of the genus Gyromitra. There are about 15 species in the genus. A molecular phylogenetic study recovered a species that was described but neglected for 50 years, Hydnotrya bailii.

Cyttaria (From Greek Kyttaros, meaning "cell of a honeycomb") is a genus of ascomycete fungi. About 10 species belong to Cyttaria, found in South America, Australia and New Zealand, which are obligatory parasites of southern beech trees from the genus Nothofagus. The "llao llao" fungus Cyttaria hariotii, one of the most common fungi in Andean-Patagonian forests, has been shown to harbor the yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus, which may be source of the lager yeast S. pastorianus cold-tolerance.

Hydnotrya tulasnei is a species of fungus belonging to the family Discinaceae. It is native to Europe and Northern America, Japan.

Cortinarius uliginosus, commonly known as the orange willow webcap or marsh webcap, is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae. It was first described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1860.

Lycoperdon curtisii is a type of puffball mushroom in the genus Lycoperdon. It was first described scientifically in 1859 by Miles Joseph Berkeley. Vascellum curtisii, published by Hanns Kreisel in 1963, is a synonym. Its fruit bodies (puffballs) have been recorded growing in fairy rings. It is nonpoisonous.

Ascotricha is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae; according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement in this family is uncertain.

Thysanothecium is a genus of three species of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Camille Montagne and Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1846. The original specimens of the type species, T. hookeri, were collected from the area of Swan River (Australia) by James Drummond, who sent them for to William Jackson Hooker for further analysis.

Badhamia utricularis is a species of slime mold in the family Physaraceae. It was first described as Sphaerocarpus utricularis by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1789, and was assigned to the genus Badhamia by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1852.

Badhamia is a genus of slime molds in the family Physaraceae. It was circumscribed by English naturalist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1853. The widespread genus contains about 30 species.

Actiniceps is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. It has a widespread distribution in tropical regions.

Paurocotylis pila, commonly known as the scarlet berry truffle, is an ascomycete fungus in the genus Paurocotylis. It was first described by Miles Joseph Berkley in 1855. This species is native to New Zealand and Australia and is naturalized in the United Kingdom. It often appears in forests under podocarp trees such as tōtara; however, it also occurs in gardens, forest tracks, and parks.

Myriangium is a genus of fungi within the family Myriangiaceae. Species Myriangium citri Henn. is an entomopathogenic fungi of armoured scale insects on citrus trees in coastal New South Wales, Australia.

Hygrophorus mesotephrus is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus.

Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

Glaziellaceae is a family of fungi in the order Pezizales that contains the single monotypic genus Glaziella. The type species Glaziella vesiculosa, originally collected in Cuba, was referred to the genus Xylaria by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1869. A decade later, Berkeley circumscribed the genus Glaziella to contain a specimen collected in Brazil, apparently forgetting that he had earlier named it Xylaria aurantiaca. The genus name of Glaziella is in honour of Auguste François Marie Glaziou (1828 – 1906), who was a French landscape designer and botanist.

Geastrum australe is an inedible species of mushroom belonging to the genus Geastrum, or earthstar fungi. It can be mistaken for G. saccatum or G. simulans, and is found in Melbourne.
