Fungi named in 1880

The Ustilaginales are an order of fungi within the class Ustilaginomycetes. The order contained 8 families, 49 genera, and 851 species in 2008. In 2011, monotypic family Pericladiaceae Vánky holding just Pericladium Pass. (with 3 species) was added. Also family Cintractiellaceae Vánky was later placed in a monotypic order Cintractiellales McTaggart & R.G. Shivas in 2020. Ustinaginales is also known and classified as the smut fungi. They are serious plant pathogens, with only the dikaryotic stage being obligately parasitic.

The Saccharomycetaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales that reproduce by budding. Species in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are present in a wide variety of habitats, especially those with a plentiful supply of carbohydrate sources. The family contains the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, perhaps the most economically important fungus.

Phoma is a genus of common coelomycetous soil fungi. It contains many plant pathogenic species.

Peziza arvernensis, commonly known as the boring brown cup fungus or fairy tub, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae. The ascocarps appear as cups, growing up to 8 cm (3+1⁄8 in) across. Their exterior is pale tan and the interior is brown. Peziza vesiculosa and P. violacea are similar, young specimens of the latter having a violet hue. This species often appears in small groups on soil in broad-leaved woodland, especially with beech. It is widespread in Europe with a few records from North and South America.

Alternaria brassicae is a plant pathogen able to infect most Brassica species including important crops such as broccoli, cabbage and oil seed rape. It causes damping off if infection occurs in younger plants and less severe leaf spot symptoms on infections of older plants.

Hebeloma sacchariolens, commonly known as the sweet poisonpie, or sweet-scented poison pie, is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.

Sclerotinia trifoliorum is a plant pathogen infecting alfalfa, red clover, chickpea, and fava bean. Lithourgidis et al. have done much work on this disease and fava bean.

The Sphaeropsis are a genus of fungi, within the family Botryosphaeriaceae, the order Botryosphaeriales, and the class Dothideomycetes. They are plant pathogens. Most known species is Sphaeropsis sapinea (Fr.) Dyko & B. Sutton (1980) (or Diplodia sapinea (Fr.) Fuckel and Diplodia pinea (Desm.) J. Kickx f.), which is the causal agent of the Diplodia tip blight disease on pines and other conifer species. It is also found on forest and ornamental trees in the Western Balkans, Europe, and in the United States.

Tuberculina is a genus of fungi in the order Helicobasidiales. The genus is a synonym of Helicobasidium, but currently species have not yet been assigned to the latter genus. Tuberculina species are conidia-bearing parasites of rust fungi, forming felt-like, purple patches on their hosts.

Stigmina is a genus of fungal plant pathogens in the family Mycosphaerellaceae.

Marasmius crinis-equi is a species of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae, being a plant pathogen. It is commonly known as the 'horse hair fungus', and appears on rainforest leaves as a wiry stipe with a delicate fruitbody. The cap of the fruitbody can be up to 4 mm in diameter, and is pale brown.

Graphina is a genus of script lichens in the family Graphidaceae. It has about 25 species. The genus was circumscribed in 1880 by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis. Müller Argoviensis did not indicate a type species for the genus in his original publication; David Hawksworth proposed to designate Graphina anguina as a lectotype in 1981.

Glaziellaceae is a family of fungi in the order Pezizales that contains the single monotypic genus Glaziella. The type species Glaziella vesiculosa, originally collected in Cuba, was referred to the genus Xylaria by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1869. A decade later, Berkeley circumscribed the genus Glaziella to contain a specimen collected in Brazil, apparently forgetting that he had earlier named it Xylaria aurantiaca. The genus name of Glaziella is in honour of Auguste François Marie Glaziou (1828 – 1906), who was a French landscape designer and botanist.
