Fungi named in 1894

Ramaria botrytis, commonly known as the clustered coral, the pink-tipped coral mushroom, or the cauliflower coral, is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. The type species of the genus Ramaria, R. botrytis was first described scientifically in 1797 by mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon. The robust fruit body can grow up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter and 20 cm (8 in) tall, and resembles some marine coral. Its dense branches, which originate from a stout, massive base, are swollen at the tips and divided into several small branchlets. The branches are initially whitish but age

Agaricus subrufescens (syn. Agaricus blazei, A. brasiliensis or A. rufotegulis) is a species of fungus, commonly known as the almond mushroom. It is edible for most people, with a somewhat sweet taste and a fragrance of almonds.

Prototheca is a genus of algae in the family Chlorellaceae. While this genus is a member of the green algae, all Prototheca no longer have chloroplasts and therefore their photosynthetic ability. Some species can cause protothecosis in humans and various vertebrates.

Pluteus lutescens is a mushroom in the Pluteaceae family. The tannish cap is up to 5 centimetres (2 in) wide. The stalk is up to 7 cm tall and 6 millimetres (1⁄4 in) thick.The spore print is pinkish. It is a cosmopolitan species often found on decaying wood.

Penicillium italicum is a fungal plant pathogen. It is a common post-harvest disease commonly associated with citrus fruits.

Candelariella is a genus of bright yellow, ocher, or greenish yellow crustose or squamulose lichens in the family Candelariaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called eggyolk lichens, goldspeck lichens, or yolk lichens.

Asterodon is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. Several species once placed in this genus were transferred to Pseudasterodon.

Hyperphyscia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. These lichens form tightly attached, leaf-like crusts that spread outward in rosettes, with individual lobes radiating in shallow, overlapping tiers that are seldom more than a millimetre or two wide and range in colour from pale brownish-grey to dark brown. They reproduce through brown, disc-shaped fruiting bodies that sit directly on the upper surface and contain thick-walled brown ascospores divided by a single cross-wall, typical of many members of their family.

Gibellula is a genus of parasitic fungi which attacks arachnids. The genus Gibellula was named after Giuseppe Gibelli.

The Choanephoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Mucorales. Members of this family are found mostly in the tropics or subtropics, and only rarely in temperate zones. The family currently includes species formerly classified in the family Gilbertellaceae.

Candelariella vitellina is a common and widespread green-yellow to orange-yellow crustose areolate lichen that grows on rock, wood, and bark, all over the world. It grows on non-calcareous rock, wood, and bark.

Asterodon ferruginosus is a species of fungus belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is native to Eurasia and Northern America.

Veluticeps is a small genus of wood-rot fungi characterized by the production of resupinate to bracket shaped, perennial, tough, brown fruitbodies, that blacken when KOH solution is applied, and with a smooth to warted or cracked fertile undersurface. They cause a brown rot of wood.[1] Cystidia in the hymenium are characteristically mostly in fascicles. The genus may be monotypic if Columnocystis is excluded. Phylogenetically, the type species, V. berkeleyi, groups with several other brown rot genera such as Neolentinus, Heliocybe, and Gloeophyllum.

Gibellula pulchra is a species of parasitoid fungus found on arachnids. The species Gibellula pulchra is commonly found around the world. The genus Gibellula was named after Prof. Giuseppe Gibelli. Some researchers have mistaken Gibellula suffulata as Gibellula pulchra though they are different species from the same genus that both prey on arachnids. Specimens of Gibellula pulchra from North America are held in various collections facilities: the Herbarium of the University of Michigan, Herbarium of Cornell University, Mycological Collection of the U.S. Bureau of Plant Industry, Herbarium of

Prototheca zopfii is a ubiquitous achlorophyllic (without chlorophyll) green alga. It is a known cause of mastitis in cattle.

Monascaceae is a former family of fungi in the subclass Eurotiomycetidae.

Gymnoconia is a genus of rust fungi in the family Phragmidiaceae. G. nitens causes an orange rust of Rubus species.

Spruce broom rust or yellow witches' broom rust is a fungal plant disease caused by the basidiomycete fungus known as Chrysomyxa arctostaphyli. It occurs exclusively in North America, with the most concentrated outbreaks occurring in northern Arizona and southern Colorado on blue and Engelmann spruce, as well as in Alaska on black and white spruce. This disease alternates its life cycle between two hosts, with the spruce serving as the primary host and bearberry (also known as kinnickinnick) serving as the secondary or alternate host. The name for the disease comes from the distinctive

Uromyces ciceris-arietini is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Uromyces ciceris-arietini was first found on chickpeas in Australia in 1983, and then in the US in 1987. It also affects 29 species in the Medicago genus including; Medicago polyceratia and Medicago polymorpha plants in USA.

Phyllopsora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae. The characteristics of a fossilized Phyllopsora, P. dominicana, found in Dominican amber, suggests that the main distinguishing features of the genus have remained unchanged for tens of millions of years.

Gymnoconia interstitialis, otherwise known as orange rust of raspberries, is a well-known disease of raspberries and blackberries throughout the eastern United States and southern Canada. The disease targets the usefulness of the leaves, attacking them until they die and fall off of the plant. The disease returns annually, and this recurrence essentially makes the plants worthless—rarely do affected plants recover. Some strains have such a strong impact on the plants that the cultivation becomes unprofitable. Hesler & Whetzel (1917) claim, "Ten per cent rusty plants are frequently reported.

Exobasidium vaccinii-uliginosi is a species of fungus in the family Exobasidiaceae. It is a plant pathogen.

Compsomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain 7 species.
