Pholiota microspora, commonly known as Pholiota nameko or simply nameko (ナメコ), is a small, amber-brown mushroom with a slightly gelatinous coating that is used as an ingredient in miso soup and nabemono. In some countries this mushroom is available in kit form and can be grown at home. It is one of Japan's most popular cultivated mushrooms, tastes slightly nutty and is often used in stir-fries. They are also sold dried. Nameko is a cold triggered mushroom that typically fruits in the fall months when the temperature drops below 10°C for the first time, and flushes twice a few weeks apart.

Gloeostereum is a genus of fungi in the family Cyphellaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Gloeostereum incarnatum, an edible mushroom native to China. In Chinese culture, it is called yú'ěr (榆 耳; literally "elm ear"). It is sometimes included in a vegetarian dish called Buddha's delight.

Amanita subjunquillea, also known as the East Asian death cap is a mushroom of the large genus Amanita, which occurs in East and Southeast Asia. Potentially deadly if ingested, it is closely related to the death cap A. phalloides. Initially little reported, the toxicity of A. subjunquillea has been well established; a study in Korea revealed it to have similar effects to A. phalloides, namely delayed gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatotoxicity, and a 12.5% mortality. The species killed five people out of six who ingested them in Hebei, China, in 1994. An all-white variety, Amanita subjunquillea

Scleromitrula is a genus of fungi within the Rutstroemiaceae family.

Typhula ishikariensis is, along with Typhula incarnata, the causal agent of grey snow mould (also called speckled snow mould or Typhula blight), an obligately parasitic plant pathogen that can destroy turfgrass when covered for a long period with snow. It is a particular problem on golf courses established in unsuitable areas. More importantly, it can also damage crops of winter wheat. The species was described as new to science in 1930 by Japanese mycologist Sanshi Imai. The varieties canadensis and ishikariensis (the former as a new combination) were described in 1978. There is a wide

Amanita rubrovolvata, commonly known as the red volva amanita, is a species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. The fungus produces small to medium-sized mushrooms, with reddish-orange caps up to 6.5 centimetres (2+1⁄2 inches) wide. The stems are up to 10 cm (4 in) tall, cream-coloured above the ring and cream to yellowish below it. The stem ends in a roughly spherical bulb at the base, which is covered with bright orange patches. First described scientifically by the Japanese mycologist Sanshi Imai in 1939, the fungus is widely distributed in eastern Asia. Neither its edibility nor toxicity

Sarcoleotia is a genus of fungi in the earth tongue family Geoglossaceae.

Pachycudonia spathulata, commonly known as Manzanita butter clumps, is a rare and little-known fungus that grows in association with manzanita and Pacific madrone trees on the west coast of North America. This fungus was first described in 1942 by Sanshi Imai as Cudonia spathulata and renamed by Imai in 1950 to Pachycudonia spathulata. Mycologists are investigating the range of this fungus and seeking new observations and specimen collections.

Amanita flavipes is a species of Amanita found in oak and conifer forest of China, India, Japan, Pakistan, and South Korea.

Pachycudonia is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Cudoniaceae. The Japanese mycologist Sanshi Imai originally proposed it as a section of the genus Cudonia, basing it on the species Cudonia constrictospora, and describing the main characteristic of the genus as Pileus convexo-hemiglobosus vel depresso-convexus, crassus ("Pileus convex to hemispherical or depressed-convex, thick.") He later promoted it to distinct genus status in 1950. Pachycudonia has three species: Pachycudonia constrictospora (S.Ito & S.Imai) S.Imai (1950) Pachycudonia monticola (Mains) S.Imai (1950)
