Fungi named in 1956

Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis, commonly known as the goblet funnel cap, is a species of fungus and the type species of the genus Pseudoclitocybe. It is found in North America and Europe.

Russula alnetorum is a species of mushroom in the genus Russula. The fruiting bodies are found growing on the ground in the vicinity of alder trees with which this fungus has a symbiotic relationship. The cap is purple and the gills and stem white, darkening with age.

Pseudoclitocybe is a genus of fungi in the family Pseudoclitocybaceae. The genus contains about ten species with a collectively widespread distribution.

The Cryptomycocolacomycetes are a class of fungi in the Pucciniomycotina subdivision of the Basidiomycota. The class contains a single order, the Cryptomycocolacales, which in turn contains the single family Cryptomycocolacaceae. The family has two monotypic genera.

Kluyveromyces is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae. Some of the species, such as K. marxianus, are the teleomorphs of Candida species. The genus name of Kluyveromyces is in honour of Albert Jan Kluyver ForMemRS (1888-1956), who was a Dutch microbiologist and biochemist. The genus was circumscribed by Johannes P. Van der Walt in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek vol.22 on pages 268–271 in 1956. Mating and sporulation in Kluyveromyces are co-induced by poor environments and most often occur in succession without intervening diploid mitotic cell divisions. A RAD52 gene

The Massarinaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Although taxa have a cosmopolitan distribution, they are better-known in temperate regions. They are thought to be saprobic in wood and bark; some species are weak pathogens. In 2013, Quaedvlieg and colleagues expanded this family with the genus Stagonospora by showing that the type of the genus (Stagonospora paludosa) actually clustered inside the Massarinaceae and not in the Phaeosphaeriaceae as was previously assumed. Subsequently, Stagonospora, which has several important pathogens on grasses (e.g. Stagonospora nodorum and

Gymnogaster is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single secotioid species Gymnogaster boletoides, found in Australia. The fungus produces bright yellow fruit bodies with a light brown internal gleba, and the fruit bodies turn blue then dark brown after bruising or handling.

Tubulicrinis is a genus of crust fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1956.

The Phaeotrichaceae are a family of fungi previously considered to be in the order Pleosporales, but now excluded. Taxa have a widespread distribution and are saprobic, on herbivore dung.

Scytinostroma is a genus of fungi in the Lachnocladiaceae family. The genus contains 32 species that collectively have a widespread distribution. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1956.

Pseudoarmillariella is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. The genus contains three species found in Central America, North America, and Asia. Pseudoarmillariella was described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1956.

The Piedraiaceae is a monotypic family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Dothideomycetes, within the Capnodiales order. It only contains genus Piedraia Fonseca & Leão which has 2 species.

Geastrum melanocephalum is a species of earthstar fungus belonging to the family Geastraceae. It has been put on the Red List of threatened macrofungi in Poland, where it is in danger of extinction.

Pseudoomphalina kalchbrenneri is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae, and the type species of the genus Pseudoomphalina. Originally described as Omphalia kalchbrenneri by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola, the species was made the type species of the then newly created genus Pseudoomphalina by Rolf Singer in 1958. The fungus is found in North America and Europe.

Laxitextum bicolor is a plant pathogen fungus. It is inedible.

Inocybe salicis is an uncommon species of fungus found in association with willow in Europe. The species produces small, brown or yellow mushrooms with caps up to 2.5 centimetres (1.0 in) across, with stems up to 3.5 centimetres (1.4 in) long. The species is similar in appearance to several other closely related species in the genus Inocybe that also associate with willow, and so is most reliably differentiated microscopically.

Aleurocystis is a genus of fungi in the Stereaceae family. The widely distributed genus contains three species. Aleurocystis was circumscribed by the New Zealand-based mycologist Gordon Herriot Cunningham in 1956.

Pseudoomphalina is a genus of fungi placed in the family Tricholomataceae for convenience. The genus contains six species that are widespread in northern temperate areas. Pseudoomphalina was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in 1956. Pseudoomphalina was found to be paraphyletic to Neohygrophorus in a molecular phylogenetics study and since Pseudoomphalina is an older name, Neohygrophyorus was synonymized with it. The type species of Neohygrophorus was Neohygrophorus angelesianus, now Pseudoomphalina angelesiana. In earlier classifications based on anatomy prior to DNA sequence-based

Phellodon confluens, commonly known as the fused cork hydnum, is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. The fungus produces firm, corky fruit bodies with caps that are initially whitish grey before darkening to brown or black with age, and these caps often fuse together to form clusters. Its underside features small tooth-like spines rather than gills or pores, which are white to pale grey in colour. The species has a northern hemisphere distribution, found in forested areas of Asia, Europe, and North America, typically associated with oak trees.

Lopharia cinerascens is a species of crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was first described by botanist Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1832 as Thelephora cinerascens. Gordon Herriot Cunningham transferred it to Lopharia in 1956. It is widely distributed in Africa, Asia, Australasia, and North America; it is less common in Europe and South America.

The Cryptobasidiaceae are a family of fungi in the Basidiomycota, Exobasidiales order. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, especially in neotropical areas. Members of the Cryptobasidiaceae are plant pathogens that grow parasitically on the leaves, stems, and fruits of plants, especially those in the family Lauraceae.
