Fungi named in 1846

Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap, false blusher, and the panther amanita due to its similarity to the true blusher (Amanita rubescens), is a species of fungus found in Eurasia with poisonous and psychoactive properties.

Clavaria zollingeri, commonly known as the violet coral or the magenta coral, is a widely distributed species of fungus. It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to 10 cm (4 in) tall and 7 cm (2+3⁄4 in) wide. The extreme tips of the fragile, slender branches are usually rounded and brownish. Variations in branching and color can often be used to distinguish C. zollingeri from similarly colored coral fungi such as Alloclavaria purpurea and Clavulina amethystina, although microscopy is required to reliably identify the latter species. A typical member of

Suillus flavidus is a bolete mushroom in the genus Suillus native to Europe. It is considered endangered in the Czech Republic and Switzerland. It is also considered edible, but with an unpleasant taste.

Hymenochaete is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions. The name probably means long-haired membrane from the Greek hymen meaning membrane and chaite meaning long hair. On the basis of sequence data, in 2002 the genus Pseudochaete was constructed for Hymenochaete tabacina, as it was found to be more closely related to the poroid Hymenochaetales Onnia and Porodaedalea. Pseudochaete is however considered illegitimate since it is preoccupied by an algal genus.

Hydnotrya is a genus of ascomycete fungi related to the false morels of the genus Gyromitra. There are about 15 species in the genus. A molecular phylogenetic study recovered a species that was described but neglected for 50 years, Hydnotrya bailii.

Hydnotrya tulasnei is a species of fungus belonging to the family Discinaceae. It is native to Europe and Northern America, Japan.

Bovista paludosa is a species of fungus belonging to the family Lycoperdaceae. It is native to Eurasia.

Godronia is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains 27 species. The genus name of Godronia is in honour of Dominique Alexandre Godron (1807-1880), who was a French physician, botanist, geologist and speleologist. The genus was circumscribed by Jean Baptiste Mougeot and Joseph Henri Léveillé in Consid. Gen. Veg. Vosges on page 355 in 1846.

Buellia is a genus of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the family Caliciaceae. The fungi are usually part of a crustose lichen. In this case, the lichen species is given the same name as the fungus. But members may also grow as parasites on lichens (lichenicolous). The algae in the lichen (the photobiont partner) is always a member of the genus Trebouxia. Lichens in the genus are commonly called disc lichens, or button lichens. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains almost 1000 species. Genetic studies indicate that the genus Amandinea and Buellia may be the same, although this is

Bacidia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae. These lichens are characterised by their crustose growth form, distinctive club-shaped reproductive structures called apothecia that contain long, needle-like spores, and their symbiotic partnership with green algae. Bacidia species typically grow on various substrates including tree bark, rock surfaces, and occasionally soil, and are distinguished from related genera by their specific spore characteristics and internal structures.

Thysanothecium is a genus of three species of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Camille Montagne and Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1846. The original specimens of the type species, T. hookeri, were collected from the area of Swan River (Australia) by James Drummond, who sent them for to William Jackson Hooker for further analysis.

Lachnocladium is a genus of clavarioid fungi in the family Peniophoraceae . Based on 2025 data, the genus includes 39 species.

Cortinarius lucorum is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae.

Leptogium rivulare, also called the flooded jellyskin lichen, is a species of lichen belonging to the family Collemataceae. It is native to Europe and Northern America.

Schizostoma is a genus of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It was first described in 1846 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg The type species is Schizostoma laceratum (Ehrenb. ex Fr.) Lév. 1846

Polyporus gayanus is a species of fungus in the genus Polyporus. It was first documented in 1846 by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé.

Polychaeton is a genus of fungi within the Capnodiaceae family.

Combea is a genus of lichens in the family Opegraphaceae. It has two species. The genus was circumscribed by Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris in 1846. The genus name of Combea is in honour of Francesco Comba (fl. 1845), an Italian lab assistant and draughtsman, from the Zoological Museum in Turin.

Buellia schaereri is a species of lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 1849 by Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris. The botanical name honours Swiss pastor and lichenologist Ludwig Schaerer. It is a widely distributed lichen, occurring in Africa, Asia, Northern and Central Europe, Macaronesia, Central America, and North America. It grows on the bark and wood of trees, especially conifers and oak.

Bilimbia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae. The genus forms crustose (crust-like) lichens that appear as whitish-grey to grey patches on calcium-rich soils or mosses growing over alkaline surfaces. The genus is distinguished by its sessile apothecia (fruiting bodies) that range from light ochre to black, eight-spored asci, and colourless spores with multiple cross-walls. Molecular phylogenetics studies have confirmed that Bilimbia forms a well-supported monophyletic group within the Ramalinaceae, and as of 2025, it contains 24 accepted species.
