Fungi named in 1899

The fungi imperfecti, also laterally called Deuteromycota, Deuteromycetes or imperfect fungi are fungi which do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological characteristics of sexual structures because their sexual form of reproduction has never been observed. They are known as imperfect fungi because only their asexual and vegetative phases are known. They have asexual form of reproduction, meaning that these fungi produce their spores asexually, in the process called sporogenesis. There are about

Letharia vulpina, commonly known as the wolf lichen (although the species name vulpina, from vulpine relates to the fox), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae. It is bright yellow-green, shrubby and highly branched, and grows on the bark of living and dead conifers in parts of western and continental Europe and the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains of North America. This species is somewhat toxic to mammals due to the yellow pigment vulpinic acid, and has been used historically as a poison for wolves and foxes. It has also been used traditionally

Hygrophorus latitabundus is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus. It is distributed in European pine forests, and has a preference for calcareous soils. It fruits in autumn, producing large, edible mushrooms with slimy caps and stems.

Myriangiales is an order of sac fungi, consisting of mostly plant pathogens.

Chamonixia is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus is widely distributed, especially in temperate regions, and contains eight species. Chamonixia was circumscribed by French mycologist Léon Louis Rolland in 1899.

Wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) is a fungal disease that affects wheat, barley, rye stems, leaves and grains. In temperate zones it is destructive on winter wheat because the pathogen overwinters. Infections can lead up to 20% yield loss. The pathogen is a Puccinia rust fungus. It is the most prevalent of all the wheat rust diseases, occurring in most wheat-growing regions. It causes serious epidemics in North America, Mexico and South America and is a devastating seasonal disease in India. P. triticina is heteroecious, requiring two distinct hosts (alternate hosts).

The Hysterangiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hysterangiales. Species in the family are widely distributed in temperate areas and the tropics. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains four genera and 54 species.

Trichia decipiens is a worldwide widespread slime mould species from the order Trichiida.

Puccinia thaliae is the causal agent of canna rust, a fungal disease of Canna. Symptoms include yellow to tan spots on the plant's leaves and stems. Initial disease symptoms will result in scattered sori (clustered sporangia), eventually covering the entirety of the leaf with coalescing postulates. Both leaf surfaces, although more predominant on the underside (abaxial) of the leaf, will show yellow to brownish spore-producing these pustulate structures, and these are the signs of the disease. Spots on the upper leaf-surface coalesce and turn to brown-to-black as the disease progresses.

Dasyscyphella is a genus of fungi within the Hyaloscyphaceae family. The genus contains 23 species.

Cerocorticium is a genus of seven species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.

Melampsoridium is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Pucciniastraceae. The species of this genus are found in Eurasia, Northern America and Australia.

Chamonixia caespitosa is a species of secotioid fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was described as new to science in 1899 by French mycologist Léon Louis Rolland.

Tilletia barclayana is a plant pathogen that infects rice, signalgrass, pearl millet, and crabgrass. The pathogen corrupts the crops it infects, causing black busts to appear on the crops, which then become discolored and smutted.

Pseudocyphellaria granulata is a species of foliose lichen in the family Lobariaceae. It is found in South America and New Zealand.

Leucophleps is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Albatrellaceae. The genus, widespread in northern temperate regions, contains four species. Leucophleps was circumscribed by American mycologist Harvey Willson Harkness in 1899.

Entoloma murrayi, commonly known as the yellow unicorn Entoloma or the unicorn pinkgill, is a species of fungus in the Entolomataceae family. It was first described from New England in 1859. The fungus produces yellow mushrooms that have a characteristic sharp umbo on the top of a conical cap. Other similar species can be distinguished from E. murrayi by differences in color, morphology, or microscopic characteristics. The species is found throughout the Americas and in southeast Asia, growing on the ground in wet coniferous and deciduous forests. The mushroom is inedible and may be

Bertiella is a genus of fungi in the family Teichosporaceae. although Wijayawardene et al. 2020 places it within the Melanommataceae family. The genus name of Bertiella is in honour of Giuseppe Berti, an Italian agricultural engineer from Porto Maurizio.

Aspergillus ostianus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Circumdati section. The species was first described in 1899. It has been reported to produce ochratoxin A.

Thelenella muscorum is a species of lichen belonging to the family Thelenellaceae.

Rickia wasmannii is a species of the widely distributed entomoparasitic order of fungi Laboulbeniales. It is an obligatory ectoparasite of ants of the genus Myrmica. The thalli penetrate outer layer of the cuticle, and appear on the host body surface. Little is known about its effect on the host ant, but it is usually regarded as a rather neutral symbiont. Contrarily, however, a recent study has documented an increased need of drinking water and a shortened life-span of infected ants. The known host species of Rickia wasmannii are various Myrmica species, the most frequent being Myrmica

Rickia is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain 132 species. The genus name of Rickia is in honour of Johann Rick (known in Portuguese as João Evangelista Rick) (1869–1946), who was an Austrian-Brazilian teacher, clergyman and Botanist (Mycology). He taught Mathematics and Natural history between 1903-1915 at the Jesuit School in São Leopoldo, in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The genus was circumscribed by Fridiano Cavara in Malpighia vol.13 on page 182 in 1899.

Ramularia vallisumbrosae is a fungal plant pathogen infecting daffodils (Narcissus), causing narcissus white mould disease.

Parmelia submutata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Described from Yunnan, China in 1899, this lichen has since been found across high-elevation regions of Asia, including Taiwan and Nepal, where it grows on tree bark in pine–Rhododendron forests at high elevations. The species forms greenish-grey growths typically 8–12 cm across and is characterized by its shiny surface that becomes finely cracked with age, numerous small pale pores, and densely branched root-like structures on the black undersurface—features that help distinguish it from
