Fungi named in 1848

Trichophyton is a genus of fungus, which includes the parasitic varieties that cause tinea, including athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and similar infections of the nail, beard, skin and scalp. Trichophyton fungi are molds characterized by the development of both smooth-walled macro- and microconidia. Macroconidia are mostly borne laterally directly on the hyphae or on short pedicels, and are thin- or thick-walled, clavate to fusiform, and range from 4 to 8 by 8 to 50 μm in size. Macroconidia are few or absent in many species. Microconidia are spherical, pyriform to clavate or of

Peziza ammophila is a fungus in the cup fungus genus Peziza. It grows on sand dunes and beaches. As it gets older, it comes out from the sand and splits. It grows in winter and spring, and there are records from North America, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, the UK, Europe, Australia and South Africa. It is cup shaped. The Dutch call these Zandtulpjes, or "sand tulips."

Trichophyton tonsurans is a fungus in the family Arthrodermataceae that causes ringworm infection of the scalp. It was first recognized by David Gruby in 1844. Isolates are characterized as the "–" or negative mating type of the Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii complex. This species is thought to be conspecific with T. equinum, although the latter represents the "+" mating strain of the same biological species Despite their biological conspecificity, clones of the two mating types appear to have undergone evolutionary divergence with isolates of the T. tonsurans-type consistently associated with

Anaptychia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. Anaptychia species are foliose (leafy) to fruticose (bushy) lichens. They have brown, thin-walled spores with a single septum, and a prosoplechtenchymatous upper cortex.

Lycoperdon radicatum is a species of puffball mushroom, also called rooting puffball, in the family Agaricaceae. It was described in 1848 by French botanists Michel Charles Durieu de Maisonneuve and Camille Montagne in Algeria. Due to its Bovista-like capillitium it was previously placed in the genus Bovistella. It is nonpoisonous. It is easily recognised by its 4-8 cm rigid, white-gray pseudoroot. Its cylindrical fruiting body is up to 10 cm in size, and is white when young with a pyramidal warts, becoming yellow-tan, and gray-brown in age. At maturity, it develops a large tear at its apex.

Umbilicaria mammulata, or smooth rock tripe, is a foliose lichen found on boulders and rock walls.

Umbilicaria angulata, commonly known as the asterisk rocktripe, is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Umbilicariaceae. It is found in northwestern North America and east Eurasia, where it grows on acidic rock.

Microcera is a genus of Ascomycete fungi in the Nectriaceae family. It was thought to be monotypic genus with only one species, Microcera coccophila Desm. (1848) As well as former species Microcera coccophila var. platyspora Sousa da Câmara (1920) being reclassified as Microcera coccophila. Microcera coccophila was initially found on the bark of young living trees of Salix and Fraxinus in France. The genus has been considered as a synonym of genus Fusarium Link in major taxonomic revisions. Then Gräfenhan et al. in 2011 resurrected genus Microcera based on DNA sequence data and accepted four
