Fungi named in 1816

Cladosporium is a genus of fungi including some of the most common indoor and outdoor molds. Some species are endophytes or plant pathogens, while others parasitize fungi.

Mitrula paludosa (syn. Mitrula phalloides), the swamp beacon (US) or bog beacon, (UK) is a species of fungus. It is inedible.

Tuber rufum, also known as the red truffle, is an ectomycorrhizal fungus widely distributed across Europe and found in association with many species of broadleaf and coniferous trees and commonly encountered as an accidental contaminant in commercial truffle-infected plants in areas with neutral to high pH soils. Tuber rufum may be commonly encountered in commercial truffle growing operations or while foraging, however, it is culinary unpopular with no commercial value.

Phragmidium is a genus of rust fungus that typically infects plant species in the family Rosaceae. It is characterised by having stalked teliospores borne on telia each having a row of four or more cells. All species have a caeoma which is a diffuse aecidium lacking a peridium. There are a number of species of Phragmidium, most of which are restricted to one or a few host species. Examples include: Phragmidium acuminatum on Rubus saxatile Phragmidium bulbosum on Rubus fruticosus and Rubeus caesius Phragmidium mucronatum Phragmidium sterilis on Potentilla sterilis Phragmidium potentillae on

Epicoccum nigrum is a species of fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. A plant pathogen and endophyte, it is a widespread fungus which produces coloured pigments that can be used as antifungal agents against other pathogenic fungi. The fluorescent stain epicocconone is extracted from it.

Naematelia is a genus of fungi in the family Naemateliaceae. All Naematelia species are parasites of other fungi (Stereum species) and produce anamorphic yeast states. When produced, basidiocarps (fruit bodies), are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi." Several species of Naematelia are currently recognized worldwide. One species, Naematelia aurantialba, is commercially cultivated for food. Recent taxonomic studies have clarified species boundaries within the Naematelia aurantialba complex, including the description of additional species from China.

Cladosporium herbarum is a common fungus found worldwide in organic and inorganic matter. It is efficiently distributed in the air, where it exists as the most frequently occurring fungal species. It can grow over a wide range of temperatures including very cold environments, giving it the ability to grow on refrigerated meat and form "black spots". Its high prevalence in the air and production of allergens makes C. herbarum an important exacerbant of asthma and hay fever.

Puccinia smyrnii, or alexanders rust, is a fungus species and plant pathogen which causes rust on alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum). It was originally found in Sicily. It is found in Europe and parts of north Africa.

Coniocybe is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Coniocybaceae. The species of this genus are found in Europe, America and Australia.

Aspergillus glaucus is a filamentous fungus which is known to have a wide environmental distribution due to its physiological hardiness under extreme conditions. Like many other fungi belonging to the genus Aspergillus, it can be mildly pathogenic but has a number of useful potential applications in medicine and the production of foodstuffs.
