Imperator torosus, commonly known as the brawny bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is native to southern Europe east to the Caucasus and Israel. It is generally associated with deciduous trees such as hornbeam, oak and beech in warm, dry locales. Although generally rare in Europe, it appears to be relatively common in Hungary. Appearing in summer and autumn on chalky soils, the stocky fruit bodies have an ochre cap up to 20 cm (8 in) across, yellow pores on the cap underside, and a wine-red to brown or blackish stipe up to 6–15 cm (2.4–5.9 in) long by 3–6 cm

The oldrose bolete, Imperator rhodopurpureus, is an inedible fungus of the genus Imperator, found under deciduous trees including oak and beech in neutral soils. Initially described as Boletus rhodopurpureus, it was transferred to the new genus Imperator in 2015. The bolete is considered critically endangered in the Czech Republic and endangered in the United Kingdom, reported most commonly from Berkshire and Hampshire, and typically very rare throughout, although up to a hundred fruiting bodies have been recorded at a few sites.

Imperator is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2015 by Boris Assyov and colleagues. The erection of Imperator follows recent molecular phylogenetic studies that outlined a new taxonomic framework for the Boletaceae. The type species is Imperator torosus, an "impressive and prestigious" species to which the generic name Imperator refers. All members of this genus are either toxic if consumed (causing gastroenteritis) or are of unknown edibility.

Imperator luteocupreus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is native to southern Europe, where it is found under chestnut (Castanea) and oak (Quercus). Although it was originally described in genus Boletus, it was placed in the new genus Imperator in 2015, based on phylogenetic inferences.

Romagnesiella is an agaric fungal genus that colonizes mineral, calcareous or sandy soils in Europe and North Africa. The small brownish fruitbodies have narrowly attached, broad and distant lamellae and poorly differentiated cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia. Spores are thick-walled, brown, smooth, and lack germ pore. The cap surface (pileipellis) is somewhat cellular with irregular puzzle-like to pyriform hyphae. Clamp connections are present in the hyphae. It is most closely related to Crassisporium, both genera being close to the Strophariaceae or the Cortinariaceae.

Crassisporium is a burn-inhabiting agaric fungal genus that colonizes forest fire and campfire sites on ground and charred woody debris in Europe, north Africa and western North America. The small brownish fruitbodies have broadly attached lamellae bordered by cheilocystidia and there is an absence of pleurocystidia and chrysocystidia. Spores are thick-walled, brown, smooth, and have a germ pore. The cap surface (pileipellis) is neither gelatinized nor cellular. Clamp connections are present in the hyphae. The genus is most closely related to the genus Romagnesiella and together both are

Cantharellus coccolobae is a species of Cantharellus (commonly referred to as chanterelles) that was formally described in 2016. C. coccolobae is ectomycorrhizal, forming a symbiotic relationship with Coccoloba uviferae (seagrape) and Coccoloba diversifolia (pigeonplum). It is present in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico, and Florida, United States.

Tubaria punicea is a rare species of agaric fungus in the family Tubariaceae. It is found on the west coast of North America, where it grows on the bases and in hollows of madrone (genus Arbutus).

Tricholosporum cossonianum is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae.

Morchella fluvialis is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. It was described as new to science in 2014 by Clowez and colleagues, following collections from riparian forests in Spain under Alnus glutinosa, Ulmus minor and Eucalyptus camaldulensis, although previous collections from Turkey under Pinus nigra have also been reported. This species, which corresponds to phylogenetic lineage Mes-18, is very close to Morchella esculenta, from which it differs in its elongated cap with oblong pits and predominantly longitudinal ridges, pronounced rufescence, as well as its Mediterranean

Morchella disparilis is an Ascomycete fungus in the family Morchellaceae. Described as new to science in 2016, M. disparilis appears to be confined to the Mediterranean basin and is so far known from Cyprus, Greece and Spain. Its most striking feature is the exceptionally deep sinus (the bent at the attachment of the cap with the stem), intermediate in depth between half-free morels of the Morchella semilibera clade and typical Distantes species.

Morchella arbutiphila is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota), described from the island of Cyprus in 2016. The species is notable for its elongated stipe, which is often longer than the cap's length, its ascospores which are larger than most other species of Morchella, and its highly specific ecological preferences. It is known only from igneous substrates of the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus and from a single collection in the Aegean region of Turkey.

Hydnellum dianthifolium is a species of tooth fungus found in the Mediterranean basin. Described as new to science in 2016, this rare species appears to form ectomycorrhizal associations with Pinus brutia and often grows entirely concealed under its thick litter. The tiny fruitbodies, measuring 1.5–3.5 cm tall by 0.5–2.5 (–3.5) cm across, have a deeply funnel-shaped cap often undulating or splitting radially to acquire a flower- or coral-like shape. It is so far only known from Apulia in southern Italy and the island of Cyprus.

Hygrophorus meridionalis is a species of basidiomycete fungus in the family Hygrophoraceae. Described as new to science in 2018, this waxcap is found in abundance on the island of Cyprus and southern Greece, where it grows in association with Pinus brutia and Pinus halepensis on calcareous substrates.

Pseudoverpa is a newly erected genus of post-fire ascomycete fungi in the family Discinaceae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Pseudoverpa anthracobia which was described as new to science in 2018 from recently burned forests on the island of Cyprus. This fungus can resemble a Verpa species in the field because of its smooth, hollow and distinctly elongated stipe, which is attached to the pileus only at the apex. Its cerebriform (brain-like) pileus, brown-pigmented paraphyses and biguttulate cyanophilic spores, are all typical gyromitroid features, however. Because of

Crassisporium funariophilum is a species of mushroom in the family Crassisporiaceae. It grows during spring after forest fires.
