Hypocreopsis amplectens (Tea-tree Fingers) T.W. May & P.R. Johnst. 2007
critically endangered fungi species in the hypocreaceae family
Hypocreopsis amplectens is part of the family Hypocreaceae and genus Hypocreopsis, a group of fungi that form ascomata on the stems of trees and shrubs. The ascomata are orange-brown and consist of radiating, perithecial lobes. This species of Hypocreopsis was only discovered in 1992 in Nyora (Victoria) during a botanical survey.

Mucoromyceta Tedersoo, Sánch.-Ram., Kõljalg, M. Bahram, M. Döring, Schigel, T.W. May, M. Ryberg & Abarenkov 2018
fungi subkingdom
Mucoromyceta is a subkingdom of fungi which includes the divisions Calcarisporiellomycota, Glomeromycota, Mortierellomycota and Mucoromycota. This enormous group includes almost all molds. Sources published prior to Tedersoo et al. 2018 refer to this taxon as a phylum Mucoromycota, with three subphyla. In a 2016 study using this older treatement of "Mucoromycota" equivalent to current Mucoromyceta, the group appears as sister to Dikarya. Informally known as zygomycetes I, Mucoromyceta includes Mucoromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Glomeromycotina, and consists of mainly mycorrhizal fungi,

fungi class in the phylum zygomycota
Kickxellomycotina are a fungus grouping in the subkingdom of Zoopagomyceta Benny, 2007. The name was changed from "Harpellomycotina", because "Kickxellomycotina" had an older stem. It came from the genus Kickxella, named after Jean Kickx. Orders include Asellariales, Kickxellales, Dimargaritales, and Harpellales.

Rozellomyceta Tedersoo, Sánch.-Ram., Kõljalg, M. Bahram, M. Döring, Schigel, T.W. May, M. Ryberg & Abarenkov 2018
fungi subkingdom
Rozellomyceta is a subkingdom in the kingdom Fungi. In the consensus accepted by fungus researchers as of 2024, it contains only the Rozellomycota, which in turn contains Microsporidia as a class. An earlier view by fungus researchers divides it into two phyla, the Rozellomycota and Microsporidia as a phylum. A more fitting name for Microsporidia as a phylum could be Microsporidiomycota Benny 2007. This is no longer done because "recent phylogenies indicate that Microsporidia are deeply nested within Rozellomycota". Protistologists do not agree with the assignment of this subkingdom as fungi,

Mycena albidocapillaris Grgur. & T.W. May 1997
fungi species in the mycenaceae family
Mycena albidocapillaris is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae that is found in Australia. It was first described scientifically in 1933 by mycologist John Burton Cleland, who named it Mycena subcapillaris. The type collection was made in 1922 on Mount Lofty. It was later discovered that the name was invalid, as Paul Hennings use of that name in 1899 took precedence. Cheryl Grgurinovic and Tom May republished the species with the new replacement name Mycena albidocapillaris in 1997. The small, delicate Fruit bodies of the fungus feature white to brownish caps measuring 3–5 mm
