Fungi named in 1829

Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk or groening's slime, is a cosmopolitan species of myxogastrid amoeba which is often mistaken for a fungus. The aethalia, or fruiting bodies, occur either scattered or in groups on damp rotten wood, especially on large logs, from June to November. These aethalia are small, pink to brown cushion-like blobs. They may ooze a pink "paste" if the outer wall is broken before maturity. When mature, the colour tends to become more brownish. When not fruiting, single celled individuals move about as very small, red amoeba-like organisms called

Geastrum fimbriatum, commonly known as the fringed earthstar or the sessile earthstar, is an inedible species of mushroom belonging to the genus Geastrum, or earthstar fungi. First described in 1829, it is distinguished from other earthstars by the delicate fibers that line the circular pore at the top of its spore sac. The species has a widespread distribution, being found in Eurasia and the Americas.

Podaxis pistillaris is a xerophilic agaric mushroom related to the puffballs and inkcaps. It is commonly known as the desert shaggy mane. The cap grows to 11 cm tall and thrives in deserts and semi-deserts of North America, Australia, and South Africa.

Puccinia porri (previously known as Puccinia allii) is a species of rust fungus that causes leek rust. It affects leek, garlic, onion, and chives, and usually appears as bright orange spots on infected plants.

The Baeomycetales are an order of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the subclass Ostropomycetidae, in the class Lecanoromycetes. It contains 8 families, 33 genera and about 170 species. As a result of molecular phylogenetics research published in the late 2010s, several orders were folded into the Baeomycetales, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of taxa.

Fusicoccum is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Botryosphaeriaceae. There are over 90 species.

Stemonitidaceae is a family of slime molds in the order Stemonitidales. It was first circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1829.

Geastrum saccatum, commonly known as the sessile earthstar or rounded earthstar, or star of the land, is a species of mushroom belonging to the genus Geastrum. The opening of the outer layer of the fruiting body in the characteristic star shape is thought to be due to a buildup of calcium oxalate crystals immediately prior to dehiscence. G. saccatum is distinguished from other earthstars by the distinct circular ridge or depression surrounding the central pore. The species has a worldwide distribution and is found growing on rotting wood. It is a common mushroom, but peaks in popularity

Cenococcum is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Gloniaceae.

Splanchnonema is a genus of fungi in the family Pleomassariaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1829 by August Carl Joseph Corda. One of the species, Splanchnonema lichenisatum, is a lichen.

Cenococcum geophilum Fr., synonym Cenococcum graniforme (Sow.) Ferd. and Winge, is an Ascomycete fungal species and is the only member in the genus Cenococcum. It is one of the most common ectomycorrhizal fungal species encountered in forest ecosystems. The geographic distribution of the species is notably cosmopolitan; it is found in ecosystems with a wide range of environmental conditions, and in many cases in high relative frequency. Because of its wide distribution and abundance in forest soils, it is one of the most well-studied ectomycorrhizal fungal species. While the species has long

Desmazierella is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcoscyphaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1829 by Belgian mycologist Marie-Anne Libert in Ann. Sci. Nat. Paris Vol.17 on page 82 in 1829 with the type, D. acicola, as the sole species. The genus name of Desmazierella is in honour of Jean-Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières (1786 - 1862), a French apothacary and botanist, who lived in Lille.

Doratomyces (Dor-ah-toe-mice’-ees) is a genus of the fungi imperfecti, closely related to Scopulariopsis. Their conidiophores gather together to form a stalk-like inflorescence known as a synnema or coremia; Scopulariopsis being distinguished in their lack of such a structure. Usually associated with decay, they are usually found in association with dead wood, rotting plants, and in soil or dung. Economically, they can cause rot in potatoes, oats and corn.

Racodium is a monotypic fungal genus in the family Racodiaceae, which is itself the sole family of the order Racodiales. The genus contains a single species, Racodium rupestre, a distinctive filamentous lichen that forms dark, thread-like growths on rocks by closely enveloping filaments of the green algal genus Trentepohlia. The name has a complex taxonomic history, having been used for both this rock-dwelling lichen and an unrelated cellar fungus, until nomenclature experts formally conserved Racodium for the lichen genus in 2011. Modern DNA studies place this unusual lichen close to the
