Fungi named in 1958

Gliophorus psittacinus, commonly known as the parrot toadstool or parrot waxcap, is a colourful mushroom that is a member of the genus Gliophorus. It was formerly known as Hygrocybe psittacina, but a molecular phylogenetics study found it to belong in the genus Gliophorus. It had already been placed in Gliophorus, but it had been considered a synonym of Hygrocybe. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Lactarius quieticolor is a member of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. It was first described scientifically by French mycologist Henri Romagnesi in 1958.

Colletotrichum coccodes is a plant pathogen, which causes anthracnose on tomato and black dot disease of potato. Fungi survive on crop debris and disease emergence is favored by warm temperatures and wet weather.

Amylostereum is the single genus in the fungal family Amylostereaceae. The genus currently comprises four saprotrophic and parasitic species, which live off living or dead wood. The Amylostereaceae cause white rot in the wood by disintegrating the tissue component lignin. They produce crust-like, partially wavy fruit bodies on the surface of infested trees, which are similar to those produced by Stereum species. There are four described species in the Amylostereaceae: A. chailletii (the type), A. areolatum, A. ferreum and A. laevigatum. The species were initially considered part of Stereum

Gliophorus laetus is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hygrophoraceae. Originally described as new to science by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1800, it was transferred to the genus Gliophorus in 1958. The orangish cap is convex-to-flat, slimy, and 1–3 centimetres (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) wide. The stem is 2.5–8.5 cm (1–3+1⁄4 in) long. The flesh is whitish. The spore print is white. It can resemble G. perplexus. It can be found on moist ground in North America. It is considered edible, but of little interest.

Climacocystis borealis is a species of poroid fungus in the family Climacocystaceae.

Chlorociboria is the type genus of in the fungal family Chlorociboriaceae within order Helotiales. The genus includes 23 species. Two common temperate zone species, Chlorociboria aeruginascens and Chlorociboria aeruginosa, can only reliably be distinguished by microscopic examination. Chlorociboria aeruginosa has larger spores (9–15 μm × 1.5–2.5 μm) and the worm-like cells of the outer surface are rough, unlike the commoner C. aeruginascens, of which the spores are 6–10 μm × 1.5–2 μm. The hyphae and fruit bodies of all species make xylindein, a secondary metabolite that stains the substrate

Stachybotrys chartarum (, stak-ee-BO-tris char-TARE-əm), also known as black mold is a species of microfungus that produces its conidia in slime heads.

Amylostereum areolatum (patchy duster) is a species of crust fungus. Originally called Thelephora areolata in 1828, it was given its current name by French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1958.

Skeletocutis amorpha is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, and the type species of the genus Skeletocutis.

Skeletocutis is a genus of about 40 species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, although most species are found in the Northern Hemisphere. It causes a white rot in a diverse array of woody substrates, and the fruit bodies grow as a crust on the surface of the decaying wood. Sometimes the edges of the crust are turned outward to form rudimentary bracket-like caps. Skeletocutis is primarily distinguished from similar genera of wood-rotting fungi by microscopic features, especially by the sausage-shaped to ellipsoid spores, and spiny crystals

Neohygrocybe ovina is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of blushing waxcap, since the lamellae (gills) and flesh turn pinkish red when bruised. The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Leucogyrophana is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae (suborder Coniophorineae of the order Boletales). The genus was erected in 1958 to accommodate the species then known as Merulius molluscus ( Leucogyrophana mollusca). Several more species were described, but DNA testing in 2001 found that L. mollusca was isolated genetically from the others, and most closely related instead to Hygrophoropsis.

Hyphodontia is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae (Schizoporaceae in Index Fungorum). The genus was circumscribed by Swedish mycologist John Eriksson in 1958.

Gliophorus is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. Gliophorus species belong to a group known as waxcaps in English, sometimes also waxy caps in North America or waxgills in New Zealand. In Europe, Gliophorus species are typical of waxcap grasslands, a declining habitat due to changing agricultural practices. As a result, two species, Gliophorus europerplexus and Gliophorus reginae, are of global conservation concern and are listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Camarophyllopsis is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Clavariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are dull-coloured and have dry caps, rather distant, decurrent lamellae, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe species are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making them of conservation concern.

Taeniolella is a genus of asexual fungi hyphomycetes in the family Mytilinidiaceae. Some of the species are lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling), others are saprophytic, while others are endophytic. The genus was circumscribed in 1958 by Canadian mycologist Stanley John Hughes, with Taeniolella exilis as the type species. Major revisions of the lichenicolous species in the genus were published in 2016 and 2018.

Squamarina is a genus of lichens in the family Stereocaulaceae. They form patches of radiating lobes or overlapping scales (squamules), with a well-developed upper cortex and no lower cortex. They grow on calcareous soil and rocks. Squamarina lentigera can be used to make a yellow dye.

Hypochnicium is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist John Eriksson in 1958.

Amylostereum laevigatum (yew duster) is a species of crust fungus in the family Amylostereaceae. Originally named Thelephora laevigata by Elias Fries in 1828, it was given its current name when transferred to the genus Amylostereum by French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1958.

Amylostereum chailletii (powdered duster) is a species of crust fungus. It was originally described in 1822 as Thelephora chailletii by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1822, and given its current name when it was moved into Amylostereum by Jacques Boidin in 1958. It causes a white rot, especially in spruce and fir species.

Psilocybe strictipes is a mushroom that grows on grassy meadows and lawns; It is found throughout the cool temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and it is most common in Europe, and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin is closely related to Psilocybe semilanceata and Psilocybe pelliculosa. Psilocybe strictipes is commonly confused with Psilocybe semilanceata and can be differentiated by its lack of a papilla and a convex to subumbonate cap. "Strictipes" comes from the Latin words stricti (narrow) and pes (foot).

Psilocybe baeocystis is a psilocybin mushroom of the family Hymenogastraceae. It contains the hallucinogenic compounds psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin. The species is commonly known by various names such as bottle caps, knobby tops, blue bells, olive caps, blue Meanies.

Climacocystis is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Climacocystaceae. Until recently, it was monotypic genus, containing the single widespread species Climacocystis borealis. In 2014, Chinese mycologists added the newly described species Climacocystis montana. The generic name combines the name Climacodon with the Ancient Greek word χύστιζ ("bladder").

Amphinema byssoides (cratered duster) is a species of corticioid fungus known to form mycorrhizal relationships with spruce trees. It was first described as Thelephora byssoides in 1801 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, but was transferred to the genus Amphinema by John Eriksson in 1958.

Weraroa was a genus of mushrooms from the families Hymenogastraceae and Strophariaceae. The genus was initially described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1958 to accommodate the single species Secotium novae-zelandiae reported by Gordon Herriott Cunningham in 1924. It was thought that the genus represented an intermediary evolutionary stage between a hypogeous (underground) ancestor and the related epigeous (above ground) genus Stropharia. Advances in phylogenetics and taxonomic changes since 1958 found it contained unrelated species from multiple genera. It is now considered a synonym of the
