The Exobasidiales are an order of fungi in the class Exobasidiomycetes. The order consists of four families as well as one genus, Cladosterigma, not assigned to any family.

Typhula quisquiliaris, commonly known as the bracken club, is a species of club fungus in the family Typhulaceae. It produces small, white fruit bodies up to 9 millimetres (0.4 in) in height, each with a single distinct "head" and "stem". The head is fertile, while the stem attaches to a sclerotium embedded in the substrate. The fruit bodies grow from dead wood, and strongly favours bracken, where the species feeds saprotrophically. Though T. quisquiliaris was described under a different name by James Sowerby in 1803, the specific name quisquiliaris was sanctioned in 1821 by Elias Magnus

Fistulinella is a genus of bolete fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus has a pantropical distribution, and contains 15 species. Fistulinella was circumscribed by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1901.

Ustilago esculenta is a species of fungus in the Ustilaginaceae, a family of smut fungi. It is in the same genus as the fungi that cause corn smut, loose smut of barley, false loose smut, covered smut of barley, loose smut of oats, and other grass diseases. This species is pathogenic as well, attacking Manchurian wild rice (Zizania latifolia), also known as Manchurian ricegrass, Asian wild rice, and wateroat. This grass is its only known host. Zizania latifolia is grown as an agricultural crop across Asia. The success of the crop depends on the smut fungus. The grass is not grown for its

Puccinia horiana is a species of fungus that causes chrysanthemum white rust, is a disease of plant species of the genus Chrysanthemum.

Campanella is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 40 species.

Cerocorticium is a genus of seven species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Shiraia bambusicola is a parasitic fungus on twigs of several genera of bamboos, and its relatively large stromata are used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Shiraia. It is widely distributed in many provinces of Southern China and also in Japan. The genus Shiraia, named after Dr. Mitsutaro Shirai, was first established and proposed as a member of the family Nectriaceae by P. Hennings in 1900. Although the familial placement is somewhat uncertain, molecular phylogenetic evidence based on the sequences of ribosomal DNA supports its positioning in

The Englerulaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. The genre names of Englerula and Englerulella are in honour of Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (1844 – 1930), who was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography.

Engleromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. The genus contains two species, the type Engleromyces goetzei (found in Africa and Asia) and E. sinensis (found in China), described as new in 2010. The genus was circumscribed in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.28 on page 327 in 1900 by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings. The genus name of Engleromyces is in honour of Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (1844 – 1930), who was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography.

Stilbohypoxylon is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae.

Lysurus cruciatus or the lizard's-claw stinkhorn is a species of fungus in the stinkhorn family. It was first described scientifically in 1845 by French botanists François Mathias René Leprieur and Camille Montagne as Aserophallus cruciatus. German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings transferred it to the genus Lysurus in 1902. In 1901, the mushroom was rediscovered in Inanda, Natal. This "new" find was named L. woodii, which was later corrected to be the previously discovered L. cruciatus. The fruit bodies feature a white, cylindrical tube supporting a cluster of hollow, reddish pointed arms

Clavogaster is a genus of gasteroid fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1896 to contain the type species Clavogaster novozelandicus, which is now a synonym of Clavogaster virescens.

Disciseda bovista is a rare species of gasteroid fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It was first described as Geastrum bovista by Johann Friedrich Klotzsch in 1843. Paul Christoph Hennings transferred it to the genus Disciseda in 1903.

Auricularia fuscosuccinea is a species of Auriculariales fungus. It was first described scientifically in 1842 by French mycologist Camille Montagne as a species of Exidia. Paul Christoph Hennings transferred it to Auricularia in 1893.

Uromyces musae is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting bananas. It was found originally on the leaves of Musa species in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa. It is described as forming rusty-brown to almost black, erumpent (bursting through a surface or covering) and partially linear pustules, mostly on the lower leaf surface of the host plant. It is found in south west Pacific region, except from the Congo and Nigeria in Africa. It is found in the Philippines, Fiji and also Wallis Island.

Puttemansia is a genus in the Tubeufiaceae family of fungi. The genus name of Puttemansia is in honour of Arsène Puttemans (1873–1937), who was a Belgian-Brazilian botanist (mycology) and plant pathologist, who taught plant pathology (about plant diseases) between 1903 and 1910 at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo. The genus was circumscribed by Paul Christoph Hennings in Hedwigia vol.41 (Issue 3) [104] on page 112 in 1902.

Ploettnera is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 5 species.

Phyllosticta capitalensis is a cosmopolitan fungal plant pathogen that grows on many hosts either as an endophyte or as a saprobe on dead tissue, including species of Citrus and Musa (bananas). There are some reports of it infecting orchids, such as cattleyas or Cymbidium.

Phyllachora sacchari is a plant pathogen infecting sorghum.

Phyllachora cannabis is a plant pathogen infecting hemp.
