Fungi named in 1906

Penicillium roqueforti is a common saprotrophic fungus in the genus Penicillium. Widespread in nature, it can be isolated from soil, decaying organic matter, and plants. The major industrial uses of this fungus are the production of blue cheeses, flavouring agents, antifungals, polysaccharides, proteases, and other enzymes. The fungus has been a constituent of Roquefort, Stilton, Danish blue, Cabrales, and other blue cheeses. A few blue cheeses, such as Gorgonzola, are made instead with Penicillium glaucum.

Penicillium camemberti is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium. It is used in the production of soft-ripened cheeses, including Camembert, Brie, Langres, Coulommiers, and Cambozola, on which colonies of P. camemberti form a hard, white crust. It is responsible for giving these cheeses their distinctive flavors. An allergy to the antibiotic penicillin does not necessarily imply an allergy to cheeses made using P. camemberti. When making soft cheese that involves P. camemberti, the mold may be mixed into the ingredients before being placed in the molds, or it may be added to the outside

Histoplasma capsulatum is a species of dimorphic fungus. Its sexual form is called Ajellomyces capsulatus. It can cause pulmonary and disseminated histoplasmosis. Histoplasma capsulatum is "distributed worldwide, except in Antarctica, but most often associated with river valleys" and occurs chiefly in the "Central and Eastern United States" followed by "Central and South America, and other areas of the world". It is most prevalent in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. It was discovered by Samuel Taylor Darling in 1906.

Amanita bisporigera is a deadly poisonous species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is commonly known as the eastern destroying angel amanita, the eastern North American destroying angel or just as the destroying angel, although the fungus shares this latter name with three other lethal white Amanita species, A. ocreata, A. verna and A. virosa. First described as a new species in 1906, A. bisporigera is classified in the section Phalloideae of its genus together with other amatoxin-containing species. The mushroom has a smooth white cap that can reach up to 10 centimetres (4 inches)

Histoplasma is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens producing yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They are the causative agents of histoplasmosis in humans and epizootic lymphangitis in horses.

Phellodon tomentosus, commonly known as the zoned phellodon or zoned cork hydnum, is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. First described as Hydnum tomentosum by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it was transferred to the genus Phellodon by Howard James Banker in 1906. The brown cap is 1.5–5 cm wide, broad, flat, or funnel-shaped, sometimes fused with others, zoned with a white margin, dry, thin, and fragrant-smelling; the taste is mild to bitter. The spines on the undersurface are 1–3 mm long, grayish-brown with pale tips, some running down the upper portion of the stalk. The flesh is

The Acarosporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Acarosporales. Members of this family have a widespread distribution, and are mostly lichenized with green algae. According to a 2021 estimate, the family contains 11 genera and about 260 species. The family is characterised by a hamathecium formed of paraphysoids (hyphal structures similar in function to true paraphyses, but often branched and forming a network).

Hydnellum concrescens is an inedible fungus, commonly known as the zoned hydnellum or zoned tooth fungus. As with other tooth fungi, the spores are produced on spines on the underside of the cap, rather than gills. It has a funnel-shaped cap, typically between 2 and 7 cm (0.79 and 2.76 in) in diameter, which has characteristic concentric zones of color. The cap may also have radial ridges extending from the center to the margins. The spines are pink in young specimens, but turn brown with age. This species is very similar in appearance to Hydnellum scrobiculatum, and traditionally, largely

Marssonina is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus name of Marssonina is in honour of Theodor Friedrich Marsson (1816–1892), who was a German pharmacist and botanist. The genus was circumscribed by Paul Wilhelm Magnus in Hedwigia vol.45 on page 89 in 1906.

Holocotylon is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. It was circumscribed by American mycologist Curtis Gates Lloyd in 1906 with H. brandegeeanum as the type species.

Uromyces trifolii-repentis var. fallens is a plant pathogen infecting red clover. Its first detection in Pakistan was in 1990 in the Kaghan Valley. The pathogen is more commonly known as red clover rust. Infected plants will develop yellow spots that eventually brown and become pustules. Preventative measures include minimizing environmental moisture and applying fungicide. Once a plant is infected, it cannot be cured.

Allodus podophylli, the mayapple rust, is a plant pathogen. This fungal parasite forms tiny bright orange cups on the underside of leaves of mayapple. While the name Puccinia podophylli is often used, in 2012 the name Allodus podophylli was resurrected based on DNA evidence.

Uromycladium tepperianum is a rust fungus that infects over 100 species of Acacia and related genera including Paraserianthes in Australia, south-east Asia, the south Pacific and New Zealand. The acacia gall rust fungus species Uromycladium tepperianum has been introduced to South Africa as a biological control on the invasive Australian shrub Acacia saligna. Uromycladium tepperianum is differentiated from other species of Uromycladium by the presence of three one-celled fertile teliospores on the pedicel.

Kuehneola uredinis is a plant pathogen. Kuehneola uredinis is a fungal pathogen that causes cane and leaf rust only in Rubus cultivars or wild and ornamental blackberry species.

The Lichinaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi in the order Lichinales. Most species are lichenized with cyanobacteria, and have a distribution largely in temperate regions. In a 2024 molecular phylogenetics-informed revision, the circumscription of Lichinaceae was narrowed and the class Lichinomycetes was re‑structured into four families (three emended and one new), with many genera moved to Porocyphaceae, Phylliscaceae, or the newly erected Lichinellaceae. The family contain about 125 species in roughly 25 genera.

Colletotrichum trifolii is a fungal plant pathogen of alfalfa, causing the disease alfafa anthracnose. It is a biotroph, obtaining nutrients from the living plant cells before forming asexual spores. This fungus has two known races Bain and Essary.

Unguiculella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. A total of 17 species fall under this genus.

Trichoderma hamatum is a species of fungus in the family Hypocreaceae. It has been used a biological control of certain plant diseases, including Sclerotinia lettuce drop caused by Sclerotinia minor.

Lopadostoma is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae.

Lemmopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Lichinaceae. These lichens form extremely small, black, crust-like growths that often appear as a thin dusting of granules on limestone rock or clay soil and become noticeably gelatinous when moist. Distinguished by their partnership with cyanobacteria that enables nitrogen fixation, they produce minute cup-shaped reproductive structures with reddish-brown discs and are identified by their combination of gelatinous thallus, robust-rimmed apothecia, and simple single-celled spores.

Bonanseja is a genus of fungi in the Rhytismatales order. Its relationship to other taxa within the order is unknown (incertae sedis), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Bonanseja mexicana.

Agaricochaete is a genus of fungi in the Pleurotaceae family. The genus contains four species found in Africa and Asia.
