Fungi named in 1966

Ramalina is a genus of greenish fruticose lichens that grow in the form of flattened, strap-like branches. Members of the genus are commonly called strap lichens or cartilage lichens. Apothecia are lecanorine. It is in the family Ramalinaceae and in the suborder Lecanorineae.

Antrodia albida is a species of fungus in the genus Antrodia that grows on the dead wood of deciduous trees. A widely distributed species, it is found in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America. The fungus was first described under the name Daedalea albida by Elias Magnus Fries in his 1815 work Observationes mycologicae. Marinus Anton Donk transferred it to Antrodia in 1960.

Favolaschia calocera, commonly known as the orange pore fungus, is a species of fungus in the family Mycenaceae. Due to its form it is also known as orange pore conch or orange Ping-Pong bat. Throughout much of its expanded range F. calocera is now considered an invasive species. It colonizes ruderal sites along transport routes and can become dominant in habitats disturbed by human activity. Mycologists fear that it may be displacing native fungi species as it spreads through the paleotropics.

The Xenasmataceae are a family of crust fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscribed in 1966 by German mycologist Franz Oberwinkler with Xenasma as the type genus. As of April 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 28 species in the family. Xenasmataceae fungi grow as saprobes on fallen wood and are known primarily from temperate areas.

Taphrina alni is a fungal plant pathogen that causes alder tongue gall, a chemically induced distortion of female alder catkins (Alnus glutinosa). Taphrina alni produces a distinctive tongue-like growth which derives mainly from the ovarian tissues of the alder catkin or from the bracteoles. These alder pseudocones may carry several tongue galls, each of which usually appear to come from the same position; those curling down usually come from the bracteoles tissues and those projecting upwards usually come from ovarian tissues.

Osteina obducta is a fungal species in the family Dacryobolaceae. The genus and species was circumscribed by mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, making Osteina obducta the type species.

Leucopaxillus gentianeus is a bitter-tasting, inedible mushroom commonly known as the bitter false funnelcap, or the bitter brown leucopaxillus. A common synonym is Leucopaxillus amarus. The species was first described in 1873 as Clitocybe gentianea by French mycologist Lucien Quélet. František Kotlaba transferred it to Leucopaxillus in 1966. The pileus ranges from 4–12 centimetres (1.6–4.7 in) wide and the stipe from 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) long. It has a mild to pungent smell and a bitter taste, rendering it inedible. The bitter taste is caused by a triterpene called cucurbitacin B. The spore

Datronia is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, with Datronia mollis as the type species. Datronia fungi cause a white rot in hardwoods. Datronia contains six species found in northern temperate areas. The most recent addition, Datronia ustulatiligna, was described in 2015 from Himachal Pradesh in India.

Antrodia ramentacea is a species of polypore fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae, first described in 1879 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Broome and transferred into its current genus by Marinus Anton Donk in 1966.

Acanthobasidium is a genus of fungi in the Stereaceae family. The genus, which contains three species found in Europe, was circumscribed by mycologist Franz Oberwinkler in 1966.

Moniliella is a genus of fungi in the subdivision Ustilaginomycotina. It is in the monotypic family Moniliellaceae Q.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & Boekhout, which is in the monotypic order Moniliellales Q.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & Boekhout which is in the monotypic class Moniliellomycetes Q.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & Boekhout. The family, order and class were originally labelled as incertae sedis. Until 2014, when Moniliellaceae was formed. Some species of Moniliella can cause disease in humans, and also in cats. The genus includes the black, yeast-like fungi in the Basidiomycota, although the black, yeast-like

Anomoporia bombycina is a species of fungus belonging to the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is native to Europe and Northern America.

Anomoporia is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Zdeněk Pouzar in 1966.

Wynnella silvicola is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, order Pezizales. It was described by Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau in 1884. The fungus forms distinctive upright fruit bodies 5–10 centimetres high, with a deep blood-red to purple-brown spore-bearing surface contrasting with a smooth outer surface that is reddish brown above and pale yellow at the base. It grows in coniferous and occasionally oak woodlands on calcareous soils across Europe and North America, with only a single confirmed record in Britain from an early 20th-century collection at Roslin,

Scytinostroma hemidichophyticum is a mushroom in the family Lachnocladiaceae found in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Rhizopogon vinicolor is a species complex of ectomycorrhizal fungus which forms a mutualistic relationship with the Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga spp.). The species was first described scientifically by American mycologist Alexander H. Smith in 1966.

Helvella cupuliformis is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales, described in 1966.

Haasiella is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is a monotypic genus that contains only the species Haasiella venustissima. Haasiella splendidissima, formerly considered to be a distinct species based on its 4-spored basidia, was found by a DNA study to be synonymous with Haasiella venustissima. Haasiella venustissima is only known from Europe and is saprotrophic on wood. Haasiella was described as a new genus in 1966 by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar. It is most closely related to the genus Hygrophorus. The genus name is in honour of Hans Haas, a German

Gyalidea is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Gomphillaceae. It has 50 species.

Exophiala is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the Herpotrichiellaceae family. The widespread genus was said to contain 28 species in a 2008 publication. There are now 91 current names listed on Index Fungorum. The genus was formally described by J. W. Carmichael in 1966. Exophiala has been implicated in causing 'saxophone lung' or hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease that can be contracted by woodwind instrumentalists (saxophonists, clarinettists, oboists, etc.). A case study presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology highlighted that it is

Buglossoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1966 by Czech mycologists František Kotlába and Zdeněk Pouzar, with Buglossoporus quercinus as the type species. In some works, Buglossoporus has been treated as a synonym of Piptoporus. Buglossoporus magnus, known from only three locations in old growth lowland rainforest of Peninsular Malaysia, is considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN, and appears on their Red List.
