Fungi named in 1914

Tricholoma aurantium, commonly known as the golden orange tricholoma, is a species of agaric fungus in the genus Tricholoma.

Melanoleuca privernensis is a species of fungus in the Pluteaceae family.

Tricholoma caligatum is a mushroom of the agaric genus Tricholoma. It is a large species with a distinct sheathing ring on the stem, found in mycorrhizal association with various trees throughout the Mediterranean. It is edible and sometimes referred to as the European Matsutake due to allegedly tasting like the true matsutake (T. matsutake), prized in Japan, but it is often bitter.

Saccharomyces paradoxus is a wild yeast and the closest known species to the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is used in population genomics and phylogenetic studies to compare its wild characteristics to laboratory yeasts.

Alternaria mali, also called alternaria blotch of apple, is a pathogenic fungus affecting plants. It is prevalent in the southern United States and elsewhere, and damages the leaves of infected apple trees.

Sawadaea is a genus of fungi in the family Erysiphaceae (powdery mildews). It contains twelve species.

Puccinia kuehnii is a plant pathogen that causes orange rust disease of sugarcane. Orange rust was first discovered in India in 1914, but the first case of huge economical damage in sugarcane was registered in Australia in 2001. The first case in United States was in 2007 in Florida and has so far been the only state in the United States where sugarcane has been affected by this kind of rust. In order to treat the infected sugarcane at least three rounds of fungicide must be applied to the plant, costing growers $40 million a year. Currently scientists at the Agricultural Research Service are

Hebeloma sordidum is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.

Blakeslea trispora is a mould and member of the division Zygomycota. This species has been well studied for its ability to produce carotenoids, particularly, β-carotene and lycopene. β-carotene is a vitamin A precursor and both of β-carotene and lycopene play a significant role in the inhibition of oxidative stress. Blakeslea trispora is commonly isolated from soil samples throughout the Southern United States and Southern Asia. B. trispora is a pathogen of tropical plants. In vivo pathogenicity testing using animal models suggests this fungus is not a cause of animal or human disease.

Theissenia is a genus of fungi in the family Graphostromataceae. The genus was circumscribed by André Maublanc in Bull. Soc. Mycol. France vol.30 on page 51 in 1914. The genus name of Theissenia is in honour of Ferdinand Theissen (1877–1919), who was a German-Austrian Jesuit priest and mycologist.

Ramalina usnea is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), fruticose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It grows on tree bark across the Americas and parts of East Africa. Growing up to 30 cm (12 in) long, it forms pale greenish-grey branching strands that darken when dry. The species is highly adaptable: it forms coarse, flattened branches in foggy environments and develops finer, more delicate forms in humid coastal areas. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1767, it underwent a few taxonomic revisions until Reginald Heber Howe, Jr. established its current name in 1914. Unlike many lichens

Psilocybe subaeruginascens is a psychedelic mushroom which has psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds. This mushroom is closely related to Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata.

Drepanopeziza is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contains 14 species.

Auerswaldiella is a genus of fungi in the family Botryosphaeriaceae. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi, there are four species, widespread in tropical regions.

Trichothyriopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Trichothyriaceae.

Stephanospora is a genus of truffle-like gasteroid fungi in the order Agaricales. In 2014, nine new Australasian species were described from collections previously thought to represent S. flava.

Septoria bataticola is a fungal plant pathogen infecting sweet potatoes.

Rhizocarpon superficiale is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. It occurs in Europe and North America.

Oidium mangiferae is a plant pathogen that infects mango trees causing powdery mildew. Powdery mildew of mango is an Ascomycete pathogen of the Erysiphales family that was initially described by Berthet in 1914, using samples collected from Brazil. O. mangiferae is found in all areas where mangoes have been raised long term, but is particularly widespread in India where both the host and the pathogen are native. Currently no teleomorph stage has been identified, but due to certain morphological characteristics it has been suggested that O. mangiferae belongs in the Erysiphe polygony group.

Humicola is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Chaetomiaceae. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.

Geomyces is a genus of filamentous fungi in the family Myxotrichaceae. Members of the genus are widespread in distribution, especially in northern temperate regions. Known to be psychrotolerant and associated with Arctic permafrost soils, they are equally prevalent in the air of domestic dwellings, and children's sandpits. Species of Geomyces have previously been placed in the genus Chrysosporium.

Fulvifomes is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It was formerly considered synonymous with the genus Phellinus, but it was resurrected based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence.

Dissophora is a genus of fungi in the Mortierellaceae family of the Mucoromycota. The genus is widespread in north temperate regions and contains three species. Dissophora was circumscribed by American mycologist Roland Thaxter in 1914.
