Fungi named in 1869

Hemileia vastatrix is a multicellular basidiomycete fungus of the order Pucciniales (previously also known as Uredinales) that causes coffee leaf rust (CLR), a disease affecting the coffee plant. Coffee serves as the obligate host of coffee rust, that is, the rust must have access to and come into physical contact with coffee (Coffea sp.) in order to survive. CLR is one of the most economically important diseases of coffee, worldwide. Previous epidemics have destroyed coffee production of entire countries. In more recent history, an epidemic in Central America in 2012 reduced the region's

Pleosporaceae is a family of sac fungi. They are pathogenic to humans or saprobic on woody and dead herbaceous stems or leaves. They are generally anamorphic species (having an asexual reproductive stage). The type species is Stemphylium botryosum Wallr. They have a cosmopolitan distribution worldwide.

Saccobolus is a genus of fungi in the family Ascobolaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains 27 species.

Ascophanus is a genus of fungi in the Ascobolaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution (especially in temperate areas), and contains 20 species, most of which grow on dung.

Thecotheus is a genus of fungi in the Ascobolaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in temperate areas, and contains 17 species.

The Massariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. It contains 3 genera and 33 species. Taxa in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, but are better known in more temperate zones. Although the family is poorly known, it has been suggested that they are saprobic in wood and bark, with a few species being weak pathogens.

Umbilicaria phaea is a brown, umbilicate foliose lichen that grows up to 6 cm (2.4 in) in diameter, sometimes in colonies covering large patches of desert rocks. One variety that grows in northern California is brilliant red. It is monophyllous with a single 1 – 5 cm flattish leaf-like cap on top of an anchoring stem (umbilicate). The leaflike top is smooth with some lobes, roughly circular, thin, and brittle. The lower surface is light gray to light brown. It has up to 2.5 mm black circular to slightly polygonal spots that are the fruiting bodies (apothecia), slightly sunken into the main

Stigmatomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains 135 species.

Niesslia is a genus of fungi in the family Niessliaceae. It was circumscribed by German mycologist Bernhard Auerswald in 1869, with Niesslia chaetomium assigned as the type species. These organisms, which are barely visible to the naked eye, are found in decaying plant matter and are parasites of lichens, other fungi, or nematode eggs. They belong to the ascomycetes and in their teleomorphic (sexual) stage they form distinctive dark brown shiny fruiting bodies with spines. The fruiting body structures are a flask-shaped type called perithecia where the spores escape through ostioles. The

Grammothele is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

Verrucaria bernaicensis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It was first formally described by Alexandre François Malbranche in 1869. It has a dull, pale grey thallus that is areolate to somewhat squamulose in form. Its perithecia are immersed in the substrata, measure 0.2–0.3 mm in diameter, and lack an involucrellum. Its ascospores are broadly ellipsoid to roughly spherical, measuring 9–11 by 7–9 μm. The lichen has been recorded from Asia, a few European countries, Russia and the Caucasus, and southwestern North America.

Umbilicaria aprina is a species of foliose lichen in the family Umbilicariaceae. It is primarily found on exposed boulders in high alpine and polar regions worldwide.

Heppia lutosa is a species of jelly lichen in the family Porocyphaceae. The species forms small scaly lobes up to 10 mm across that are attached to the substrate by a central point, with a dark olive upper surface and a pale to reddish-brown underside. It occurs in Africa, Europe, and North America.

Hemileia is a genus of rust fungi, now placed in the family Zaghouaniaceae, but long considered incertae sedis in the order Pucciniales. This genus has a pan-tropical distribution and includes important crop plant pathogens, such as the causative organism of coffee leaf rust.
