Fungi named in 1872

Pleurotus eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, eryngi, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes, trumpet royale, aliʻi oyster) is an Old World species of fungus.

Stropharia aeruginosa, commonly known as the blue-green stropharia, or verdigris agaric, is a medium-sized green, slimy woodland mushroom, found on lawns, mulch and woodland from spring to autumn. The edibility of this mushroom is controversial; some sources claim that it is edible, while others claim it to be poisonous, although effects are little known and its toxic constituents undescribed.

Agaricus silvicola, also known as the wood mushroom or woodland agaricus, is a species of Agaricus mushroom related to the button mushroom.

Pleurotus pulmonarius, commonly known as the Indian oyster, Italian oyster, phoenix mushroom, or the lung oyster, is a mushroom very similar to Pleurotus ostreatus, the pearl oyster, but with a few noticeable differences. The caps of P. pulmonarius are much paler and smaller than P. ostreatus and develop more of a stem. P. pulmonarius also prefers warmer weather than P. ostreatus and will appear later in the summer. The taste and cultivation of the two species is generally described as largely the same. Another similar species, North America's Pleurotus populinus, is restricted to growing on

The genus Stropharia (sometimes known by the common name roundheads) is a group of medium to large agarics with a distinct membranous ring on the stipe. Well-known members of this genus include the edible Stropharia rugosoannulata and the blue-green verdigris agarics (Stropharia aeruginosa and allies). Stropharia are not generally regarded as good to eat and there are doubts over the edibility of several species. However the species Stropharia rugosoannulata is regarded as prized and delicious when young and is now the premier mushroom for outdoor bed culture by mycophiles in temperate

Mycena inclinata, commonly known as the clustered bonnet or the oak-stump bonnet cap, is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. The doubtfully edible mushroom has a reddish-brown bell-shaped cap up to 4.5 cm (1.8 in) in diameter. The thin stem is up to 9 cm (3.5 in) tall, whitish to yellow-brown at the top but progressively becoming reddish-brown towards the base in maturity, where they are covered by a yellowish mycelium that can be up to a third of the length of the stem. The gills are pale brown to pinkish, and the spore print is white. It is a widespread saprobic fungus, and has

Psathyrella is a large genus of about 400 species, and is similar to the genera Coprinellus, Coprinopsis, Coprinus and Panaeolus, usually with a thin cap and white or yellowish white hollow stem. The caps do not self digest as do those of Coprinellus and Coprinopsis. Some also have brown spores rather than black. These fungi are often drab-colored, difficult to identify, and all members are considered inedible or worthless (for eating) and so they are often overlooked. However they are quite common and can occur at times when there are few other mushrooms to be seen. The first report of a

Hebeloma crustuliniforme, commonly known as poison pie or fairy cakes, is a gilled mushroom of the genus Hebeloma. It is found in both the Old and New World and is poisonous.

Russula queletii otherwise known as the gooseberry russula, is a common, inedible, Russula mushroom found growing in groups, predominantly in spruce forest. Eating this mushroom causes abdominal pains.

Amanita echinocephala is a large, whitish or ivory-coloured mushroom with a characteristic spiny, or warty-looking cap. A. solitaria is a synonym and opinions are divided as to which name takes precedence. It lives on chalky soils with beech trees, and appears earlier than most mushrooms of similar size in southern England. It frequently occurs singly or in small groups, resulting in it being referred to as the solitary amanita or, more specifically, European solitary lepidella. It is very drought-tolerant.

Tricholoma sejunctum (colloquially yellow blusher in the eastern regions of North America) is a mushroom that appears across much of the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with pine forests.

Panaeolus is a genus of small, black-spored, saprotrophic agarics. The word Panaeolus is Greek for "all variegated", alluding to the spotted gills of the mushrooms produced.

Cantharellus friesii, the orange or velvet chanterelle, is a fungus native to Asia and Europe. The cap color varies from deep yellow to reddish orange and is 2–4 cm wide. It occurs in beech, fir and spruce forests. C. friesii is considered a good edible mushroom, but because of its rarity, it deserves to be mindfully managed with limited use of fungicides if discovered on residential or commercial property. Harvesting the fruit bodies of the fungus will allow for further propagation of the species as its spores are dispersed along the collector's travels. The specific epithet friesii honors

Tricholoma scalpturatum is a species of agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. Found in Europe, it grows in a mycorrhizal association with deciduous trees including Quercus, Fagus, Tilia, and Populus, and occasionally with Pinus.

Panaeolus papilionaceus, commonly known as the bell-capped mottlegill or Petticoat mottlegill, is a very common and widely distributed small brown mushroom that feeds on dung. This mushroom is the type species for the genus Panaeolus.

Atheniella flavoalba, which has the recommended name of ivory bonnet in the UK, is a species of agaric in the family Cyphellaceae. The cap is initially conical, before becoming convex and then flat; it may reach up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in) across. The cap is ivory-white to yellowish white, sometimes more yellowish at the center. The tubular stems are up to 8 cm (3.1 in) long and 2.5 mm (0.10 in) thick, and have long, coarse white hairs at their bases. Atheniella flavoalba is found in Europe, the Middle East, and North America, where it grows scattered in pastures or in dense groups under conifers

Mycena aurantiomarginata, commonly known as the golden-edge bonnet, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae. First formally described in 1803, it was given its current name in 1872. Widely distributed, it is common in Europe and North America, and has also been collected in North Africa, Central America, and Japan. The fungus is saprobic, and produces fruit bodies (mushrooms) that grow on the floor of coniferous forests. The mushrooms have a bell-shaped to conical cap up to 2 cm (3⁄4 in) in diameter, set atop a slender stipe up to 6 cm (2+3⁄8 in) long with yellow to orange

Cronartium ribicola is a species of rust fungus in the family Cronartiaceae that causes the disease white pine blister rust. Other names include: Rouille vésiculeuse du pin blanc (French), white pine Blasenrost (German), moho ampolla del pino blanco (Spanish).

Collybia cirrhata is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae of the order Agaricales (gilled mushrooms). The species was first described in the scientific literature in 1786, but was not validly named until 1803. Found in Europe, Northern Eurasia, and North America, it is known from temperate, boreal, and alpine or arctic habitats. It is a saprobic species that grows in clusters on the decaying or blackened remains of other mushrooms. The fruit bodies are small, with whitish convex to flattened caps up to 11 mm (3⁄8 in) in diameter, narrow white gills, and slender whitish stems

Tricholoma orirubens, commonly known as blushing tricholoma, is an edible gilled mushroom native to Europe. The grey-capped fruit bodies are generally found singly or in small groups in deciduous and coniferous woodland in autumn.

Stropharia coronilla, commonly known as the garland roundhead or garland stropharia, is a species of fungus. The yellowish cap is up to 6 centimetres (2+1⁄4 in) wide. The gills are grayish and darken with age. The stem is up to 6 cm long and 1 cm thick. It resembles Agrocybe dura, some other members of its genus, plus some in Agaricus and Protostropharia. Native to Europe and North America, it is considered poisonous.

Hebeloma mesophaeum, commonly known as the veiled hebeloma is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. The cap is up to 6.5 centimetres (2+1⁄2 in) wide, convex to umbonate, usually with a brownish center and paler margin, which may have veil remnants. The gills are close and pale then brown, the color of the spore print. The stalk is up to 8 cm long. The flesh is buff and watery, with a radishlike odor and taste. The species can be found near trees, including conifers. Like all members of its genus, it might be poisonous and result in severe gastrointestinal upset; nevertheless,

Psathyrella corrugis, is the type species of the basidiomycete fungus genus Psathyrella and family Psathyrellaceae. It is common in North America and is regarded as inedible.

Amanita eliae is an inedible species of fungi in the family of Amanitaceae found in Europe. It was described by Lucien Quélet in 1872. Synonyms include A. eliae, A. godeyi, and A. cordae.

Tricholoma pessundatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma.

Tricholoma colossus, commonly known as Giant Knight, is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. Due to its ringed foot, it was previously classified as Armillaria, even though it is otherwise clearly Tricholoma. The cap is 6–30 cm wide, brick red to chestnut brown, hemispherical when young, widening later on, uneven, always with very thick flesh, surface slightly sticky, developing somewhat into scales. The stipe is thick, 2–5 (at the stem even 10) cm thick, solid. Ring-like formation at the top of the foot, above which it is white. Grows in pine forests to September to October; very rare.

Tricholoma acerbum is a mushroom of the agaric family Tricholomataceae. It is found in Europe and North America, in temperate, deciduous oak forests. It has mycorrhizal associations with oak, chestnut, linden and hazel trees. In southern Europe, it has been reported to grow in mesotrophic to base-rich, though not in calcereous soils, though in Norway and Russia, it has been observed in calcareous soils. It is listed as endangered to critically endangered in various countries in northern, western and central Europe. It is threatened by deforestation, loss of forest grazing and the shift in

Mycena aetites, commonly known as the drab bonnet, is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. First described as Agaricus aetites by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1838, it was assigned its current name in 1872 by Lucien Quélet. This rare mushroom is found in Europe.

Rozella is a fungal genus of obligate endoparasites of a variety of hosts, including Oomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Blastocladiomycota. Rozella was circumscribed by French mycologist Marie Maxime Cornu in 1872. Considered one of the earliest diverging lineages of fungi, the widespread genus contains 27 species, with the most well studied being Rozella allomycis. Rozella is a member of a large clade of fungi referred to as the Cryptomycota/Rozellomycota. While some can be maintained in dual culture with the host, most have not been cultured, but they have been detected, using molecular
