Fungi named in 1907

The Russulaceae are a diverse family of fungi in the order Russulales, with roughly 1,900 known species and a worldwide distribution. They comprise the brittlegills and the milk-caps, well-known mushroom-forming fungi that include some edible species. These gilled mushrooms are characterised by the brittle flesh of their fruitbodies. In addition to these typical agaricoid forms, the family contains species with fruitbodies that are laterally striped (pleurotoid), closed (secotioid or gasteroid), or crust-like (corticioid). Molecular phylogenetics has demonstrated close affinities between

The Hygrophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including Hygrophorus and Hygrocybe species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi. Species are thus diverse and are variously ectomycorrhizal, lichenized, associated with mosses, or saprotrophic. The family contains 34 genera and over 1000 species. None is of any great economic importance, though fruit bodies of some

Sarcoscypha austriaca is a saprobic fungus in the family Sarcoscyphaceae of the order Pezizales of Ascomycota. It is commonly known as the scarlet elfcup, pézize écarlate and scharlachroter kelchbecherling. The species name means "from Austria".

The Paxillaceae are a family of mushroom-forming fungi bearing close affinity to the boletes. Collectively, the family contains nine genera and 78 species. The type genus is Paxillus, containing fungi with decurrent gills, and Gyrodon, which has members with decurrent pores, among others. French mycologist René Maire had erected the family in 1902, placing it between the agarics and boletes and recognizing the groups' similarities with the latter group. Maire's usage of the name was later deemed to be invalid, and the genus authority is attributed to Johannes Paulus Lotsy. Molecular research

The Fistulinaceae are a family of fungi, the best-known member of which is the beefsteak fungus Fistulina hepatica. Molecular studies have now shown it to lie within the Agaricales.

Caloscypha is a fungal genus in the family Caloscyphaceae (order Pezizales). A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Caloscypha fulgens, commonly known as the snowbank orange peel fungus, spring orange peel fungus, the golden cup, or the dazzling cup. It is a cup fungus, typically up to 4 centimetres (1+5⁄8 in) in diameter, with a bright to pale orange interior and orange; specimens that are old or bruised often have an olive-green discoloration, especially around the edges. In North America, C. fulgens is usually found on the ground in forest litter near conifers. Fruiting occurs

Epidermophyton is a genus of fungus causing superficial and cutaneous mycoses, including E. floccosum, and causes tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and tinea unguium (fungal infection of the nail bed).

Trichoglossum hirsutum is a species of fungus in the family Geoglossaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of hairy earthtongue. In North America it is known variously as velvety black earth tongue, velvety earth tongue, shaggy earth tongue, or black earth tongue. DNA evidence suggests the hairy earthtongue may be a species complex.

Russula pseudointegra is an inedible, quite rare mushroom of the genus Russula, with a similar habitat and appearance to Russula rosea. Russula pseudointegra is distinguished by its hot tasting flesh.

The Peniophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Russulales. Species of this family have a cosmopolitan distribution and are mostly saprobic, causing rots of standing and fallen wood. According to 2025 data the family contains 16 genera and 416 species.

Fuscoporia is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1907.

Fomitiporia is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. According to a 2008 estimate, the widely distributed genus contains 11 species, though three new species were identified in 2010 in sub-Saharan Africa using multigene molecular phylogenetic analysis, and two more were named in a 2013 article. In 2011 it was announced that a specimen of the species F. ellipsoidea was discovered with a fruit body that is largest known of any fungus. However, the species has since been moved to Phellinus.

Phellinus ferruginosus is a plant pathogen. It is inedible.

Paecilomyces is a genus of fungi. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens. Several of the entomopathogenic species, such as "Paecilomyces fumosoroseus" have now been placed in the genus Isaria, in the order Hypocreales and family Cordycipitaceae. In 1974, R.A. Samson transferred the nematicidal species Paecilomyces lilacinus to this genus. However, publications in the 2000s (decade) indicated that the genus Paecilomyces was not monophyletic, and the new genus Purpureocillium was created to hold the taxon which includes P. lilacinum: with both parts of the name referring to the

Otidea bufonia is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. The fruit body appears from late summer to early autumn as a dark brown, deep cup, split down one side, up to 6 cm (2+1⁄4 in) high and the same across. A rare European species, it occurs singly or in small groups on soil in woodland. While similar to many other species within Otidea, bufonia can be characterized by its narrow fusoid ascospores and the presence of hyphae with striate resinous exudates in the medullary excipulum.

Melastiza chateri is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This European species appears all year as smooth, dull orange-red disks up to 15 mm in diameter on damp sandy soil.

Dendrothele is a genus of fungi in the family Corticiaceae. According to a 2008 estimate, the genus has 36 widely distributed species.

Pseudocolus is a genus of fungi in the stinkhorn family. The fruit bodies have three or four simple arms that are initially joined at the tip, but often break apart. The tips of the arms are covered with a slimy, foul-smelling gleba, which attracts insects that help disperse the spores. The genus contains three species: the type Pseudocolus fusiformis, P. garciae, similar in appearance to the type but with a pinkish to red, rather than orange color, and P. grandis, found in India.

Paecilomyces variotii, also known by the name Byssochlamys spectabilis for the sexual state, is a common environmental mold from the Phylum Ascomycota (Family Thermoascaceae). It is widespread in the environment and can be found in composts, soils and wood, as well as a common environmental contaminant in indoor air and carpet dust. Ascospores of the sexual state of P. variotii (B. spectabilis) are strongly heat-resistant. As such the fungus is a common contaminant of heat-treated foods and juices. Paecilomyces variotii has been associated with a number of infective diseases of humans and

Hyphodiscus is a genus of fungi within the Hyaloscyphaceae family. The genus contains six species.

Cheilymenia stercorea is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. Specimens appear as orange-red discs up to 3 mm in diameter, clustered on dung, usually from cows. The spores are elliptical and measure 14–18 by 8–10 μm, while the asci are 175–220 by 9–12 μm. It is found in Europe and North America.

Anthracobia macrocystis, the charcoal goldeneye, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a European species which appears as orange discs up to 3 mm across thickly clustered on burnt ground.

Wettsteinina is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The type species Wettsteinina gigantospora was first described by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1907. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown in 2008, until it was resolved and placed in the Pleosporaceae family.

Trichophaea woolhopeia is a species complex of ectomycorrhizal fungi belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. There are at least 4 well-resolved cryptic species within the complex, including Quercirhiza quadratum and AD (Angle Droit). They are European species that appear on damp ground, with apothecial fruiting bodies that appear as tiny (up to 6 mm across) whitish cups with brown hairs on the margin and outer surface.

Thermoascus is a genus of soil fungi in the family Trichocomaceae. Species in the genus are characterized by the production of heat-resistant ascospores. Thermoascus was circumscribed by German botanist Hugo Miehe in 1907. The type species, Thermoascus aurantiacus, is of research interest because it secretes heat-resistant hydrolase enzymes that could possibly be used in biotechnological applications, such as the conversion of biomass to biofuels. Genetic tools have been developed to genetically edit Thermoascus aurantiacus, such as an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation

Scopulariopsis is a genus of anamorphic fungi that are saprobic and pathogenic to animals. The widespread genus contains 22 species. Scopulariopsis belongs to the group Hyphomycetes. These species are commonly found in soil, decaying wood, and various other plant and animal products. In indoor environment Scopulariopsis is found on dry walls, cellulose board, wallpaper, wood, and mattress dust. Species of Scopulariopsis have also been isolated from carpets, hospital floors, swimming pools, wooden food packing, shoes and wood pulp. Scopulariopsis species are sometimes encountered growing on

Puccinia melanocephala is a fungus and plant pathogen, it is the causal agent of sugarcane rust. It was originally found on the leaves of a species of Arundinaria (cane) in Assam, India. This pathogen was found to also affect multiple species of sugarcane, including Saccharum spontaneum or wild sugarcane, Saccharum robustum, and the most commonly cultivated species Saccharum officinarum. Puccinia melanocephala can also infect other member of the family Poaceae, including some species of bamboo such as Bambusa vulgaris. The first symptoms of sugarcane rust are elongate, yellow-colored leaf
