Fungi named in 1870

Aleuria aurantia (orange peel fungus) is a widespread ascomycete fungus in the order Pezizales. The bright orange, cup-shaped ascocarps often resemble orange peels strewn on the ground, giving this species its common name.

Otidea onotica, commonly known as hare's ear or donkey ear, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. The fruiting body appears from spring to early autumn as a deep cup split down one side and elongated at the other, up to 10 centimetres (4 inches) tall. It is yellow to orangish or slightly pinkish. White hairs cover the outside, while the inside is smooth or rippled. Similar species include Guepinia helvelloides, others of the genus Otidea, as well as some of Pezizaceae family. Otidea onotica occurs in Europe and North America, singly or in small groups on

Sclerotinia is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The widely distributed genus contains 14 species.

Lepista is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains approximately 50 species. In 1969, Howard Bigelow and Alex H. Smith designated the group as subgenus of Clitocybe. A genetic study conducted in 2015 revealed that the genera Collybia and Lepista were closely related to the core clade of Clitocybe. However, all three genera were found to be polyphyletic, with several members located in lineages distinct from other members within the same genus. Instead, they were more closely related to members of the other

Pseudoplectania nigrella, commonly known as the ebony cup, the black false plectania, or the hairy black cup, is a species of fungus in the family Sarcosomataceae. The fruit bodies of this saprobic fungus are small blackish cups, typically up to 2 cm (3⁄4 in) broad. P. nigrella has a worldwide distribution, and has been found in North America, the Caribbean, Eurasia, Madagascar, and New Zealand. It grows in groups on soil or mossy rotting wood, often amongst pine needles. The fungus produces a unique chemical compound, plectasin, that has attracted research interest for its ability to inhibit

Podosphaera pannosa is a plant pathogen. It produces a powdery mildew on members of the rose family.

Humaria hemisphaerica is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. In the UK it has the recommended English name of glazed cup; in North America it has been called the hairy fairy cup or the brown-haired fairy cup. Ascocarps (fruit bodies) are cup-shaped and can be recognized by their smooth, white inner surface and hairy, brown outer surface. The species occurs in Europe and North America.

Otidea leporina is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It was given its current name by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in 1870. It contains toxins which may cause serious gastric upset.

Ciboria amentacea, commonly known as the catkin cup, is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Sclerotiniaceae. It was first described by Giovanni Battista Balbis in 1804 as Peziza amentacea. Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel transferred it to Ciboria in 1870. The cap is up to 1.2 centimetres (1⁄2 in) across. The species is widespread in Europe and North America, where it grows on catkins of willow and alder.

Aleuria is a genus of cup fungi within the phylum Ascomycota. The best known species is Orange peel fungus, A. aurantia. Aleuria species are saprobes.

Phyllachora is a genus of fungi in the family Phyllachoraceae. An Outline of Fungi in 2020 listed up to 1513 species. Phyllachora queenslandica (from Australia) is found on shrub Neolitsea dealbata.

Urocystis is a genus of smut fungi containing plant pathogens, which infect grass species and other plants.

Puccinia sessilis is a fungal species and plant pathogen, which is also known as arum rust or ramsons rust. It commonly infects Arum maculatum and Allium ursinum causing yellow to orange circular patches on leaves. On the underside of the leaves, it produces raised orange aecia commonly covered in spores. It is common in Eurasia in the spring. It was originally found on the leaves of Iris versicolor in New York, USA. Other plant species affected by this rust include Convallaria majalis, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Dactylorhiza incarnata, Dactylorhiza majalis, Gymnadenia conopsea, Neottia ovata,

Ciboria is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The widespread genus, which currently contains about 21 species, was circumscribed by the German botanist Karl Fuckel in 1870.

The Pyrenulaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the order Pyrenulales, though a few members are secondarily non-lichenized. They form thin crusts on bark and, less often, on rock, and partner with species from the green algal genus Trentepohlia. The family is characterized by flask-shaped fruiting bodies (perithecia) that typically open through a pore, and by ascospores whose internal walls form distinctive rounded to diamond-shaped chambers. The number of accepted genera varies among sources—recent phylogenetic treatments have sampled about 13, while broader taxonomic

Dictyostelium is a genus of single- and multi-celled eukaryotic, phagotrophic bacterivores. Though they are Protista and in no way fungal, they traditionally are known as "slime molds". They are present in most terrestrial ecosystems as a normal and often abundant component of the soil microflora, and play an important role in the maintenance of balanced bacterial populations in soils. The genus Dictyostelium is in the order Dictyosteliida, the so-called cellular slime molds or social amoebae. In turn the order is in the infraphylum Mycetozoa. Members of the order are of great theoretical

Pyrenopeziza is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 59 species. Synonym: Excipula Fr., 1823.

Otidea cochleata is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a rare European species occurring singly or in small groups on soil in woodland. The fruiting body appears from spring to late autumn as a brown, irregularly shaped cup, split down one side, up to 5 cm high and the same across.

Humaria is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus is widespread in northern temperate areas, and contains 16 species. The genus was circumscribed by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in 1870.

Uromyces striatus is a fungal species and plant pathogen causing rust in Medicago species. It was originally found on the leaves of Genista tinctoria, Medicago sativa, Medicago falcata, Medicago media, Medicago lupulina, Medicago scutellata, and also Trifolium arvense in Germany. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) rust caused by Uromyces striatus is an important disease in many areas and is damaging to alfalfa grown for seed.

Pseudoplectania is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The genus contains 12 species. Pseudoplectania ryvardenii was described in 2012, while Pseudoplectania carranzae was transferred to the genus (from Plectania) in 2013.

Pseudopeziza trifolii is a plant pathogen infecting red clover.
