Fungi named in 1971

Cladonia stellaris (star-tipped cup lichen or star reindeer lichen) is an ecologically important species of cup lichen that forms continuous mats over large areas of the ground in boreal and arctic regions around the circumpolar north. The species is a preferred food source of reindeer and caribou during the winter months, and it has an important role in regulating nutrient cycling and soil microbiological communities. Like many other lichens, Cladonia stellaris is used by humans directly for its chemical properties, as many of the secondary metabolites are antimicrobial (e.g., Usnic acid),

Lyophyllum shimeji, commonly known as the hon-shimeji is an edible species of fungus in the family Lyophyllaceae that grows in pine forests, often near man-made roads. It was originally only known from Japan, Korea and China, but presently has a known distribution that includes Russia, Estonia, Scandinavia, Czechia and Spain, as well as USA and Canada. It is particularly widespread in lichen pine forests in Sweden, Finland and Norway, after being confirmed from these countries as late as 2011.

Omphaliaster is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. The widespread genus contains seven species, predominantly in northern temperate regions.

Kluyveromyces marxianus in ascomycetous yeast and member of the genus, Kluyveromyces. It is the sexual stage (teleomorph) of Atelosaccharomyces pseudotropicalis also known as Candida kefyr. This species has a homothallic mating system and is often isolated from dairy products.

Ceriporia purpurea is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. It was first described by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as Polyporus purpureus. Marinus Anton Donk gave the fungus its current name when he transferred it to the genus Ceriporia in 1971. A 2016 study identified six similar Ceriporia species, referred to as the Ceriporia purpurea group: Ceriporia bresadolae, the European species C. torpida and C. triumphalis, and the North American species C. manzanitae and C. occidentalis. Ceriporia purpurea is widely distributed in the temperate zone of Eurasia, where

Aspergillus sojae is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. In Japan, it is used to make the ferment (kōji) of soy sauce, miso, mirin, and other lacto-fermented condiments such as tsukemono. Soy sauce condiment is produced by fermenting soybeans with A. sojae, along with water and salt. Glyceollins, molecules belonging to the pterocarpans, are found in the soybean (Glycine max) and have been found to have an antifungal activity against A. sojae. Aspergillus sojae contains 10 glutaminase genes. The glutaminase enzyme in A. sojae is important for the taste of the soy sauce that it

Tarzetta catinus is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a largely European species with a few records from Mexico and the United States. It appears from spring to autumn as cream-coloured cups up to 5 cm across, usually in small groups among broad-leaved trees, especially beech. The rather similar Tarzetta cupularis is usually a smaller, deeper, flask-shaped cup, but the two species can only be reliably distinguished microscopically: by the shape of the spores (those of T. catinus being broader) and the paraphyses (those of T. catinus having

Pycnoporellus fulgens is a species of fungus belonging to the family Pycnoporellaceae. It is native to Eurasia and Northern America. It has a wide distribution both continents

Byssonectria fusispora is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a European species appearing as bright yellow-orange discs up to 3 mm in diameter thickly clustered on soil and rotting plant material, often at fire sites.

Tympanella galanthina, or cottonbud pouch, is a secotioid fungus in the monotypic genus Tympanella, a member of the Bolbitiaceae family. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Tolypocladium is a genus of fungi within the family Ophiocordycipitaceae. It includes species that are parasites of other fungi, insect pathogens, rotifer pathogens and soil inhabiting species with uncertain ecological roles. Tolypocladium was originally circumscribed as a genus containing anamorphic fungi. It was later determined that some Cordyceps-like teleomorphic fungi were the teleomorphs of Tolypocladium species. These species were considered to belong in the genus Cordyceps until molecular phylogenetics studies found these species to be more closely related to Ophiocordyceps and were

The Testudinaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa have a widespread distribution, especially in xeric habitats, and are mostly saprobic.

The Eremomycetaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes.

The Vizellaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. The family was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Haring Johannes Swart in 1971. It originally held Blasdalea and the type genus Vizella. Vizellaceae species are found on all continents, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.

Sulcaria is a genus of three species of fruticose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. Sulcaria was circumscribed by lichenologist Jan Bystrek in 1971. These lichens form hair-like or rope-like structures that hang from or grow upright on tree bark, with branches that develop distinctive lengthwise grooves as they age. They reproduce through disc-shaped fruiting bodies that contain large, dark brown spores with two unequal cells.

Crucispora is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus, described by mycologist Egon Horak in 1971, contains two species found in New Zealand and Asia.

Coniochaetaceae is a fungal family in the order Coniochaetales. The family was updated in 2020.

Boletus subluridellus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Described as new to science in 1971 by American mycologists, the bolete is found in the eastern United States and Canada. It grows on the ground in coniferous and mixed forests in a mycorrhizal association with deciduous trees, especially oak. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) have orangish-red, broadly convex caps that are up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter, with small, dark reddish pores on the underside. The pale yellow stipe measures 4–9 cm (1.6–3.5 in) long by 1.5–2.3 cm (0.6–0.9 in) thick. All parts of the fruit body

Velutarina is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae.

Scutellinia subhirtella is a species of fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. It was described as new to science in 1971 by the Czech mycologist Mirko Svrček from specimens collected in the former Czechoslovakia. The yellowish-red to red fruitbodies grow in damp locations or wetlands on bare soil or mossy ground, as well as on rotting wood.

Rhodophana is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It originally described as a genus in 1947 by Robert Kühner, but the description was invalid until it was re-published in 1971, though as a subgenus of Rhodocybe. It did not find favour as a genus until Rhodocybe was found to be polyphyletic and Kluting et al. resurrected the name in 2014 as part of a DNA-based reclassification of the family. Rhodophana is distinguished from other genera of the Entolomataceae because there are clamp connections and based on the structure of the cap skin. This genus has a thin outer

Parmelia squarrosa, commonly known as the bottlebrush shield lichen, is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It occurs in east Asia, Europe, and eastern North America, where it typically grows on tree bark, much less frequently on rocks, and rarely on moss. Because of its abundance, widespread distribution, and stable populations, it has been assessed as a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Parmelia saxatilis is quite similar in appearance Parmelia squarrosa and the latter was quite often confused with the former, especially in

Neolecta vitellina is a species of fungus belonging to the family Neolectaceae. It has cosmopolitan distribution.
