Fungi named in 1895

Lactarius albocarneus is a member of the large genus Lactarius (order Russulales), known as milk-caps. Found in Europe, the species was first described in 1895 by German mycologist Max Britzelmayr.

Favolaschia is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains about 50 species. Like the genus Favolus, the name is derived from the Latin favus meaning honeycomb, as the fungi with the large pores on the underside are resembling a honeycomb. The name was first published as a section of the obsolete genus Laschia, which was named after Wilhelm Gottfried Lasch (1787-1863), who was a German apothecary and botanist.

Otidea alutacea, commonly known as the brown clustered ear cup, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. The cup is 3–6 cm tall and 2–4 cm wide, normally split on one side to the base, with a wavy margin, brown outside and light brown inside. The spores are colorless. Similar species include Otidea onotica and Guepinia helvelloides. It grows on soil in woodland in western North America and in Europe. It is inedible.

Monascus purpureus (syn. M. albidus, M. anka, M. araneosus, M. major, M. rubiginosus, and M. vini; simplified Chinese: 红曲霉; traditional Chinese: 紅麴黴; pinyin: hóng qū méi, lit. "red yeast") is a species of mold that is purplish-red in color. It is also known by the names ang-khak rice mold, corn silage mold, maize silage mold, and rice kernel discoloration.

Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a species in the fungal genus Trichophyton, and the type species of the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex . It is one of three common fungi which cause ringworm in companion animals. It is also the second-most commonly isolated fungus causing tinea infections in humans, and the most common or one of the most common fungi that cause zoonotic skin disease. Trichophyton mentagrophytes is frequently isolated from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other rodents, though at least some genetic variants possess the potential of human-to-human transmission, e.g. Type

Icmadophila ericetorum is a species of lichen belonging to the family Icmadophilaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Helvella corium is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. This inedible cup-shaped fungus is black, and grows on the ground often near willows in deciduous or mixed forests.

Exidiopsis effusa is a species of fungus in the family Auriculariaceae, and the type species of the genus Exidiopsis. It is associated with the formation of hair ice on dead wood.

Ustilago esculenta is a species of fungus in the Ustilaginaceae, a family of smut fungi. It is in the same genus as the fungi that cause corn smut, loose smut of barley, false loose smut, covered smut of barley, loose smut of oats, and other grass diseases. This species is pathogenic as well, attacking Manchurian wild rice (Zizania latifolia), also known as Manchurian ricegrass, Asian wild rice, and wateroat. This grass is its only known host. Zizania latifolia is grown as an agricultural crop across Asia. The success of the crop depends on the smut fungus. The grass is not grown for its

Campanella is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 40 species.

Puccinia oxalidis is a fungus species in the genus Puccinia. This species is a causal agent of rust on plants in the genus Oxalis, such as Oxalis articulata. The disease appears as yellow dots on the reverse of the leaves. The aecial stage can also be found on Berberis repens. It was originally found on Oxalis species in Mexico.

Zeora strobilina, also known as the mealy rim lichen, is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It was originally described as Parmelia strobilina by German botanist Kurt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in 1827. The species was long treated in Lecanora, but was later transferred to Zeora when that genus was resurrected for the former Lecanora symmicta group in 2025. It is distributed across North America and the Mediterranean region, and has also become established in South America and the Galápagos. It can be distinguished from other closely related species, including Z. confusa,

Exidiopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Auriculariaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains around 30 species. One species, Exidiopsis effusa, is responsible for the formation of hair ice on dead wood.

Dendrographa is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae. It has seven species. These lichens form small, shrubby tufts that cling to bark or coastal rocks along the Pacific seaboard, with brown-grey main branches and paler, pencil-thin tips that lack a protective outer skin. The genus was originally established in 1895 for a single Pacific coast species, but molecular studies in the 2010s expanded it by transferring four additional species from other genera and led to the discovery of a seventh species in Brazil.

Crepidotus cinnabarinus is a species of saprophytic fungus in the family Crepidotaceae with a stipeless sessile cap distributed in North America and Europe. It is highly conspicuous and often found on fallen branches and rotting trunks of broad leafed trees. In England it appears from late summer to autumn.

Blumenavia is a genus of fungi in the family Phallaceae. The genus contains three species found in South America and Africa.

Saccharomyces bayanus is a yeast of the genus Saccharomyces, and is used in winemaking and cider fermentation, and to make distilled beverages. Saccharomyces bayanus, like Saccharomyces pastorianus, is now accepted to be the result of multiple hybridisation events between three pure species, Saccharomyces uvarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus. Notably, most commercial yeast cultures sold as pure S. bayanus for wine making, e.g. Lalvin EC-1118 strain, have been found to contain S. cerevisiae cultures instead. S. bayanus is used intensively in comparative genomics

Ochropsora is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Uropyxidaceae. The species of this genus are found in Eurasia and Northern America. Species: Ochropsora ariae (Fuckel) Ramsb. Ochropsora daisenensis T.Hirats. & S.Uchida Ochropsora nambuana (Henn.) Dietel

Clathrus chrysomycelinus is a species of fungus in the stinkhorn family. It is found in South America and reported from New Zealand, although the equivalence of the species is yet to be determined. The fungus grows up to 60 mm across by 100 mm tall.

Agaricus californicus, commonly known as the mock meadow mushroom, or California agaricus, is a species of fungus in the section Xanthodermati of the genus Agaricus. The mushroom is mildly poisonous, often causing gastrointestinal upset.

Sirobasidium brefeldianum is a species of fungus in the order Tremellales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous and appear to be parasitic on ascomycetous fungi on wood. The species was originally described from Brazil, but has also been reported from Asia and Europe.

Rhachomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains 71 species.

Punctularia is a genus of fungi in the family Punctulariaceae. The genus contains two widely distributed species.

Laccocephalum basilapidoides, referred to as the stone-making fungus, is a fungus known only from Australia.

Laccocephalum is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was discovered in 1895 by Daniel McAlpine and Otto Tepper. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words λάκκος ("cistern") and κεφαλή ("head").

Itajahya galericulata is a species of fungus in the family Phallaceae.

Diplocarpa is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. It contains the single species Diplocarpa curreyana, described as new to science by English botanist George Edward Massee in 1895.

Anthracoidea is a genus of smut fungi belonging to the family Anthracoideaceae. The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution.
