Fungi named in 1837

Stachybotrys is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae. The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837. Historically, it was considered closely related to the genus Memnoniella, because the spores are produced in slimy heads rather than in dry chains. Recently, the synonymy of the two genera is generally accepted. Most Stachybotrys species inhabit materials rich in cellulose. The genus has a widespread distribution and contained about 50 species in 2008. There are 88 records of Stachybotrys on Species

Puccinia coronata is a plant pathogen and causal agent of oat and barley crown rust. The pathogen occurs worldwide, infecting both wild and cultivated oats. Crown rust poses a threat to barley production, because the first infections in barley occur early in the season from local inoculum. In oats, damage fluctuates per year, and may be trivial in damage some years or may account for over 30% of crop damage other years. Crown rusts have evolved many different physiological races within different species in response to host resistance. Each pathogenic race can attack a specific line of plants

Pleurococcus is a genus of green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae that are spherical in shape with a thick cell wall to protect themselves against excessive water loss. They can be found alone or in bunches together forming a slimy layer and grow on moist, dark patches of trees, rocks and soil. The name is derived from the Greek terms πλευρά (pleurá, "side" or "rib"), and κόκκος (kókkos, "seed" or "berry"). It is sometimes also called Protococcus. Its taxonomic status needs reinvestigation, since the type species Pleurococcus vulgaris is considered a synonym of Desmococcus olivaceus.

The Phragmidiaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contains 14 genera and 164 species.

The Coniocybaceae are the sole family of lichen-forming fungi in the Coniocybales, which itself is the only order in the class Coniocybomycetes.

Melanospora is a genus of fungi within the Ceratostomataceae family. Sakayaroj et al. (2005) recognised a distinct lineage of marine Ascomycota within the class Sordariomycetes, that was then named TBM (Torpedospora/Bertia/Melanospora) clade. Bertia was later placed in order Coronophorales and Torpedospora in order Torpedosporales.

Graphium is a genus of fungi in the family Microascaceae. Historically, Graphium was used for hyphomycetes with erect, black synnemata (i.e. bundles of spore-producing conidiophores) bearing a single, terminal, ball of one-celled, hyaline conidia produced from annellides. More than 100 species were described following that general concept before the diversity of sexual states and DNA phylogenies led to reclassification of most species. The approximately 20 species remaining in the modern genus are assumed to be minor plant pathogens on trees. Most species reported in soil, plant debris, woody

Discosia is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae. It was published by Marie-Anne Libert in 1837. The genus was re-studied by Subramanian and Reddy (1974), who designated Discosia strobilina Lib. ex Sacc. as lectotype for the genus (Nag Raj 1993; Tanaka et al. 2011). Later, when Sphaeria artocreas Tode was transferred to the genus and combined under Discosia artocreas (Tode) Fr., the latter was chosen as lectotype of the genus (Fries 1849; Vanev 1991). Vanev (1991, 1992a, b, c, d) made a detailed taxonomic revision of the genus. On the basis of the location of the conidial
