Fungi named in 1798

Phallus indusiatus, commonly called the basket stinkhorn, bamboo mushrooms, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn, bridal veil, or veiled lady, is a species of fungus in the family Phallaceae, known as stinkhorns. First described scientifically in 1798 by French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat, the species has often been referred to a separate genus Dictyophora along with other Phallus species featuring an indusium. The fruit body is characterised by a conical to bell-shaped cap on a stalk and a delicate lacy "skirt", or indusium, that hangs from beneath the cap and reaches

Phallus hadriani, commonly known as the dune stinkhorn or the sand stinkhorn, is a species of fungus in the Phallaceae (stinkhorn) family. The stalk of the fruit body reaches up to 20 cm (8 in) tall by 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) thick, and is spongy, fragile, and hollow. At the top of the stem is a ridged and pitted, thimble-like cap over which is spread olive-colored spore slime (gleba). Shortly after emerging, the gleba liquefies and releases a fetid odor that attracts insects, which help disperse the spores. P. hadriani may be distinguished from the similar P. impudicus (the common stinkhorn) by the

Calicium adspersum is a species of pin lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It forms grey, granular crusts on bark and dead wood, producing black, pin-like fruiting bodies about 0.6–1 mm tall with a yellowish, powdery coating on the head. It was described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1798 from material on oak wood, and later authors applied a series of alternative names and rank placements to the same taxon in the early 19th century. The species has an antitropical distribution, occurring in temperate regions of both hemispheres, but is generally uncommon and is especially scarce in North
