Fungi named in 1969

Microsporidia are a group of spore-forming parasitic unicellular fungi. These spores contain an extrusion apparatus that has a coiled polar tube ending in an anchoring disc at the apical part of the spore. They were once considered protozoans or protists, but are now known to be fungi, or a sister group to true fungi. These fungal microbes are obligate eukaryotic parasites that use a unique mechanism to infect host cells. They have recently been discovered in a 2017 Cornell study to infect Coleoptera (beetles) on a large scale. So far, about 1500 of the probably more than one million species

Leccinum variicolor is a species of bolete fungus in the genus Leccinum.

Psathyrella piluliformis, commonly known as the clustered brittlestem, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae.

Buchwaldoboletus lignicola is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae native to Europe and North America. Found on wood, it is actually parasitic on the fungus Phaeolus schweinitzii. It has a convex yellow- to rusty brown cap, yellow to yellow-brown pores and stipe, and a brown spore print. Its edibility is unknown.

Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus that is also used as a fungicide. It is used for foliar application, seed treatment and soil treatment for suppression of fungal pathogens causing various fungal plant diseases. Commercial biotechnological products such as 3Tac have been useful for treatment of Botrytis, Fusarium and Penicillium sp. It is also used for manufacturing enzymes.

Scleroderris canker (American name), or Brunchorstia disease (European name), Gremmeniella abietina, is a species of fungal diseases infecting coniferous forests. The main symptom is the death of the needles, leading to the death of the tree. In the forest industry, fighting off an infection of Scleroderris canker is usually not cost-effective. Clearing is often preferred over fungicidal methods, as the latter is harmful to other living organisms.

Ganoderma adspersum is a species of fungi.

Buchwaldoboletus is a genus of bolete fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologist Albert Pilát in 1969. According to a 2011 survey of the genus, Buchwaldoboletus contains about a dozen species that are saprotrophic and lignicolous.

Agaricus bresadolanus (parkland mushroom) is a species of fungus in the genus Agaricus. Its spores are ellipsoid and lack a germ pore, with dimensions of 5.5–7.5 by 4.0–5.0 μm. It was described by Hungarian mycologist Gábor Bohus in 1969. A rare species, it has been recorded in Asia and southern Europe, where it fruits singly or in groups along paths and in grassy area of deciduous woodland.

Stemphylium vesicarium is a plant pathogen infecting many plants including onion, garlic, asparagus, and pear.

Clitocybe agrestis is a species of agaric fungus. Widely distributed in Europe, it was described as new to science in 1969 by the Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja. Fruitbodies are poisonous as they contain the toxin muscarine.

Gremmeniella is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains at least 3 species. The genus name of Gremmeniella is in honour of J. Gremmen (fl. 1953) a Dutch botaniker (Mycology), plant pathologist, from the Forest Research Station T.N.O. in Wageningen. The genus was circumscribed by Michel Morele in Bull. Soc. Sci. Nat. Archéol. Toulon & Var vol.183 on page 9 in 1969. Gremmeniella abietina is a plant pathogen that causes scleroderris canker.

Cantharellus ferruginascens is a species of Cantharellus found in Europe.

Pleurotus cystidiosus, also known as abalone mushroom and maple oyster mushroom, is an edible species of fungus in the family Pleurotaceae, described as new to science by mycologist Orson K. Miller Jr. in 1969. It can be cultivated, with spores and growing kits being available commercially. Antromycopsis macrocarpa (or A. broussonetiae) is the anamorphic form of this species.

Clitocybe amarescens is a species of agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. Widely distributed in northwestern Europe, it was first described in 1969 by Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja. It fruits in groups or in fairy rings in grasslands. Amarescens signifies "tending to bitterness".

Amorphotheca resinae is an ascomycete fungus of the family Amorphothecaceae which is known to thrive in environments containing alkanes (and water), like aviation fuel, from which it derives its trivial name 'kerosene fungus'. As such it belongs to the heterogenous group of microbial contaminants of diesel fuel.

Sarcodon leucopus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. It is found in Asia and Europe, where it grows in association with pine trees. The fungus produces a pale brown fruiting body up to 20 cm across, with thin downward-pointing spines on its underside that start whitish and age to purplish-brown. It is considered near-threatened by the IUCN and endangered in Switzerland.

Phaeosphaeria nodorum (syn. Stagonospora nodorum, synonym and correct taxonomic name: Parastagonospora nodorum) is a major fungal pathogen of wheat (Triticum aestivum), causing the disease Septoria nodorum blotch. It is a member of the Dothideomycetes, a large fungal taxon that includes many important plant pathogens affecting all major crop plant families.

Panaeolopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains four species. Panaeolopsis was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in 1969 with P. sanmartiniana as the type species.

Paragyromitra ambigua is an ascomycete species of fungus in the family Discinaceae, and related to the false morel G. esculenta. The species is found in North America, where it produces fruit bodies (mushrooms) that grow on the ground. The edibility of the fruit bodies is not known with certainty, and it is not recommended for consumption.

Clitocybe subcordispora is a rare species of mushroom-forming fungus first described by the Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja in 1969. It is characterized by its brownish, hygrophanous cap with red tints, pure white spore print, and distinctive subcordiform (somewhat heart-shaped) spores measuring 4.2–6.2 by 3.0–4.0 micrometres. This saprotrophic fungus grows in rows or arcs in dry, nutrient-poor heath forests dominated by pine or spruce, occasionally under Siberian larch or among mosses. The species is known only from hemiboreal and southern boreal zones of eastern Finland and is considered

Buchwaldoboletus hemichrysus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae native to USA. Found on pine wood, it has a convex bright golden-yellow cap, rich red-brown pores, and an ochraceous spore print. It's edible, but the flesh is described as "tasteless".

Backusella is the sole genus of zygote fungi in the family Backusellaceae, which is classified in the order Mucorales. Members of this genus have been often isolated from plant litter, from locations around the world.

The Amorphothecaceae are a family of fungi in the division Ascomycota. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty (incertae sedis). It contains the single genus Amorphotheca. In nature, Amorphothecaceae exist under Taxus trees. The only known species within this family, Amorphotheca resinae (also known as Hormoconis resinae or Cladosporium resinae), can live in tanks of diesel or jet fuel, consuming alkanes and traces of water, which can cause problems for airliners and boats.

Amanita virgineoides, known as the false virgin's lepidella, is a species of fungus in the genus Amanita.
