Fungi named in 1900

Phaeolus schweinitzii, commonly known as velvet-top fungus, dyer's polypore, dyer's mazegill, or pine dye polypore, is a fungal plant pathogen.

Podosphaera leucotricha is a species of powdery mildew, a fungal plant pathogen, that infects species in the genera Malus (apples)and Pyrus (pears). It has an almost circumglobal distribution, being found on every continent bar Antarctica.

Umbilicaria esculenta, the rock tripe or Iwa-take, is a lichen of the genus Umbilicaria that grows on rocks.

The Exobasidiales are an order of fungi in the class Exobasidiomycetes. The order consists of four families as well as one genus, Cladosterigma, not assigned to any family.

Elsinoë is a genus of fungi. Many of the species in this genus are plant pathogens.

Sporothrix schenckii, a fungus that can be found worldwide in the environment, is named for medical student Benjamin Schenck, who in 1896 was the first to isolate it from a human specimen. The species is present in soil as well as in and on living and decomposing plant material such as peat moss. It can infect humans as well as animals and is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, commonly known as "rose handler's disease." The most common route of infection is the introduction of spores to the body through a cut or puncture wound in the skin. Infection commonly occurs in otherwise healthy

Phylloporus rhodoxanthus, commonly known as the gilled bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. Like other species in the genus, it has a lamellate (gilled) hymenium and forms a mycorrhizal association with the roots of living trees, specifically beech and oak in North and Central America. It is edible.

The Cronartiaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Uredinales. They are heteroecious rusts with two alternating hosts, typically a pine and a flowering plant, and up to five spore stages. Many of the species are plant diseases of major economic importance, causing significant damage and (in some cases) heavy mortality in conifers.

The Coleosporiaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contains 6 genera and 131 species. It was updated in 2020, to 7 genera and 173 species.

Phaeolus is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek word φαιος meaning "dark" or "obscure".

Sporothrix is a ubiquitous genus of soil-dwelling fungus discovered by Schenck in 1898, and studied in more detail by Hektoen and Perkins. The first described and best known species is Sporothrix schenckii, the causative agent of rose handler's disease. New environmental, and pathogenic, species have been discovered with the potential for more to be found as molecular techniques advance. Other species in this genus include Sporothrix brasiliensis and Sporothrix globosa.

Podoscypha is a genus of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 35 species.

Shiraia bambusicola is a parasitic fungus on twigs of several genera of bamboos, and its relatively large stromata are used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Shiraia. It is widely distributed in many provinces of Southern China and also in Japan. The genus Shiraia, named after Dr. Mitsutaro Shirai, was first established and proposed as a member of the family Nectriaceae by P. Hennings in 1900. Although the familial placement is somewhat uncertain, molecular phylogenetic evidence based on the sequences of ribosomal DNA supports its positioning in

Metschnikowia is a genus of yeast in the family Metschnikowiaceae. Cells are usually spherical to ellipsoid. Asci are elongate and contain one or two needle shaped ascospores. Metschnikowia bicuspidata is the type species. Metschnikowia pulcherrima has been investigated for use in winemaking and as a substitute for Palm oil.

Leucocoprinus fragilissimus, commonly known as the fragile dapperling, is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Agaricaceae.

Epithele is a genus of crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae.

Engleromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. The genus contains two species, the type Engleromyces goetzei (found in Africa and Asia) and E. sinensis (found in China), described as new in 2010. The genus was circumscribed in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.28 on page 327 in 1900 by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings. The genus name of Engleromyces is in honour of Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (1844 – 1930), who was a German botanist. He is notable for his work on plant taxonomy and phytogeography.

Echinodontium tinctorium, commonly known as the Indian paint fungus or toothed conk, is a species of fungus in the family Echinodontiaceae. It is a plant pathogen. Found on tree species such as grand fir (and indicating a rotten core).

Echinodontium is a genus of fungi in the family Echinodontiaceae. The genus was published by American mycologist Job Bicknell Ellis in 1900, who described it thus: "Differs from Hydnum in the thick, woody pileus of Fomes and the teeth beset with spines, as in Mucronophorus and Hymenochaete". The type species, Echinodontium tinctorium, is commonly known as the "indian paint fungus" owing to its traditional use for bodypainting.

Crinipellis zonata, commonly known as the zoned crinipellis or the zoned-cap collybia, is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Marasmiaceae. It is a little brown mushroom, distinctive because of its thick covering of coarse hairs, and differentiated from other members of Crinipellis by its slightly larger cap size, which reaches up to 25 mm (1.0 in) in diameter. The white gills on the underside of the cap are crowded closely together, and are free from attachment to the stem. Saprobic, it grows on the dead wood of deciduous trees from late summer to autumn. The fungus is found commonly

Cladonia subcervicornis is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It is found primarily in oceanic regions of northern and western Europe. First described in 1894, it is distinguished by its cushion-like growth habit and a prominent primary thallus made up of large, erect, greyish-green squamules with darkened undersides. The species typically grows on thin layers of humus in rock crevices along coastal areas, particularly in heath environments, where it can become locally abundant. While it produces both sexual and asexual reproductive structures frequently, genetic

Stilbella is a genus of fungi in the order Hypocreales. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown (incertae sedis), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. It is sometimes placed in the family Bionectriaceae (order Hypocreales). A 1985 monograph included 19 species; more recent estimates place about 60 species in the genus. The type species Stilbella fimetaria (Pers.) Lindau 1905 (syn. Stilbella erythrocephala (Ditmar) Lindau 1900) has a cosmopolitan distribution and grows on herbivore dung. It has pink or orange slimy conidia on white

Rhizomucor is a genus of fungi in the family Lichtheimiaceae. The widespread genus contains six species. Rhizomucor parasiticus, the species originally selected as the type, is now considered synonymous with Rhizomucor pusillus.

Psorotheciopsis is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. It contains three species.

Porogramme is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Originally described as a subgenus of Poria by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1899, he promoted it to generic status in 1900. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words πόρος ("pore") and γραμμή ("line" or "written character").

Monoicomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain 48 species.

Gyrodontium is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. There are three species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution.
