Fungi named in 1892

The Peronosporales are an order of water moulds (class Oomycetes) which can be pathogenic. Many diseases of plants are sometimes classified under this order, but are sometimes considered members of order Pythiales. Some of these pathogenic protists include the organisms responsible for potato blight, eucalyptus dieback, sudden oak death, and blue mold. Further genetic studies may place these organisms more definitively in one order or another.

Tricholoma cingulatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. First described in 1830 as Agaricus cingulatus by Elias Magnus Fries, it was transferred to the genus Tricholoma by Almfelt in 1830.

Phycomycetes or algal fungi is an obsolete polyphyletic taxon for certain fungi with aseptate hyphae. It is used in the Engler system. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (motile) or by Aplanospores (non-motile). These spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes. These gametes are similar in morphology (isogamous) or dissimilar (anisogamous or oogamous). The class Phycomycetes has been abolished and in its place exists Zygomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Plasmodiophoromycetes, Hyphochytridiomycetes, Trichomycetes (including Harpellales,

Powdery scab is a disease of potato tubers. It is caused by the cercozoan Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea and is widespread in potato growing countries. Symptoms of powdery scab include small lesions in the early stages of the disease, progressing to raised pustules containing a powdery mass. These can eventually rupture within the tuber periderm. The powdery pustules contain resting spores that release anisokont zoospores (asexual spore with two unequal length flagella) to infect the root hairs of potatoes or tomatoes. Powdery scab is a cosmetic defect on tubers, which can result

The Mortierellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Mortierellales. The family contains six genera and 93 species.

Lepiota lilacea is a species of fungus belonging to the family Agaricaceae. It was first described in Italy, in 1893, by Giacomo Bresadora, in his book Fungi Tridentini. It is characterised by its small cap (up to 36 mm broad), with a dark purple disc, and its distinct annulus. Its spores do not turn reddish-brown under Melzer's reagent (are non-dextrinoid). It is poisonous to humans. It is native to Europe and America.

Gloiocephala is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus is widespread, though mainly known from tropical and sub-tropical areas, and contains about 30 species. The mushrooms of this group are very small and grow on stems and leaves of monocotyledonous plants, such as sedges, usually in wet places. In most species their fruiting bodies do not develop into a typical mushroom form - the gills are often reduced to vein-like structures or completely missing, and the stipe may be asymmetrical, short or absent. There are five species which grow in Europe: G. caricis, G. cerkesii,

Hirsutella is a genus of asexually reproducing fungi in the Ophiocordycipitaceae family. Originally described by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1892, this genus includes species that are pathogens of insects, mites and nematodes; there is interest in the use of these fungi as biological controls of insect and nematode pests. The teleomorphs of Hirsutella species are thought to belong to the genus Ophiocordyceps.

Fusarium culmorum is a fungal plant pathogen and the causal agent of seedling blight, foot rot, ear blight, stalk rot, common root rot and other diseases of cereals, grasses, and a wide variety of monocots and dicots. In coastal dunegrass (Leymus mollis), F. culmorum is a nonpathogenic symbiont conferring both salt and drought tolerance to the plant.

Cudonia confusa, commonly known as the cinnamon jellybaby, is a species of fungus in the family Cudoniaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1898 by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola.

Synchytriaceae is a chytrid fungus family in the division Chytridiomycota. The family was described by German mycologist Joseph Schröter in 1892. The type genus, Synchytrium, contains about 200 species of fungi that are parasitic on flowering plants, ferns, mosses, and algae. Synchytrium endobioticum causes potato wart disease, an economically important disease of cultivated potato.

Septobasidium is a fungal genus within the family Septobasidiaceae. Approximately 175 described species are associated with this genus. 227 records are listed by Species Fungorum. Septobasidium species are known to be entomopathogens.

Helicogloea is a genus of fungi in the family Phleogenaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous, effused or pustular, and (microscopically) have unclamped hyphae and basidia that are auricularioid (tubular and laterally septate). Some species form asexual anamorphs producing conidia. The widespread genus contains more than 20 species.

Dipodascus is a genus of fungi in the family Dipodascaceae.

Corethromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains 82 species.

Amphinema is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Atheliaceae. The widespread genus contains six species.

Trichoderma atroviride is a filamentous fungal species commonly found in the soil. This fungal species is of particular interest to researchers due to the plethora of secondary metabolites it makes which are used in industry. The genus Trichoderma is known for its ubiquity in almost all soils and being easy to culture. Many Trichoderma's are also avirulent plant symbionts.

Sporormiella is a genus of fungi in the phylum Ascomycota whose species can be found worldwide, including the Arctic. It grows primarily on dung but also can be found in soil and plant debris. The exact number of species is debated and can range from 60 to 80 in total depending on the source. A majority of these species are coprophilous, however, there are a few that are endophytes (S. minimoides) and saprobic. Their lifecycle is thought to require herbivorous digestion, via wild or domestic herbivores, in order for spores to properly germinate although this is still under review. After being

Podostroma is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae, circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten in 1892 and containing eleven species (at least one being highly toxic) with a widespread distribution.

Endoxylina is a genus of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown (incertae sedis).

Costantinella is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Morchellaceae and class Pezizomycetes

The Cladochytriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cladochytriales.

Bovistella is a genus of puffball fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Andrew Price Morgan in 1892.

Uromyces graminis is a plant pathogen infecting carrots.

Sorokina is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 6 species. The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Syll. Fung. vol.10 on page 42 in 1892. The genus name of Sorokina is in honour of Nikolai Vasilevich Sorokin (1846–1909), who was a Russian botanist, Mycologist, Microbiologist and Parasitologist. He was Professor of Botany and Director of the Botanical Garden of the Kazan Federal University.

Sirobasidium is a genus of fungi in the order Tremellales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous and appear to be parasitic on ascomycetous fungi on wood. Microscopically they are distinguished by producing septate basidia in chains which give rise to deciduous sterigmata. Species are distributed worldwide.
