Fungi named in 1972

The Entolomataceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. The family contains eight genera and 2250 species, the majority of which are in Entoloma. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically agaricoid (mushrooms with gills), but a minority are cyphelloid, secotioid, or gasteroid. All produce pink basidiospores that are variously angular (polyhedral), ridged, or nodulose. Species are mostly saprotrophic, though a few are parasitic on other fungi. The family occurs worldwide.

Trichaptum abietinum is a species of poroid fungus in the order Hymenochaetales. It is saprophytic, growing from dead conifer wood. The white-gray cap is 1–4 cm wide and usually no more than 0.5 cm thick, shelved and fanlike, with brownish and leathery flesh. The spores are white, cylindrical, and smooth. The species is inedible. Similar species include Trichaptum biforme, Bjerkandera adusta, and Trametes versicolor.

Trichaptum biforme, commonly known as the violet-pored bracket fungus, purple tooth, or violet-toothed polypore, is a species of poroid fungus in the order Hymenochaetales.

Albatrellus subrubescens is a species of polypore fungus in the family Albatrellaceae. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) of the fungus have whitish to pale buff-colored caps that can reach up to 14.5 cm (5.7 in) in diameter, and stems up to 7 cm (2.8 in) long and 2 cm (0.8 in) thick. On the underside of the caps are tiny light yellow to pale greenish-yellow pores, the site of spore production. When the fruit bodies are fresh, the cap and pores stain yellow where exposed, handled, or bruised. The species is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows on the ground in deciduous or mixed

The Pucciniastraceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contains 11 genera and 158 species.

Megacollybia is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Previously thought to be monotypic, the genus was split into several species based on genetic data in 2007 . The type species, M. platyphylla, is restricted in distribution to Europe, Scandinavia, and western and central Russia. M. rimosa was described as new to science from Brazil in 2013.

Macrolepiota albuminosa is a species of agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae.

Macrotyphula is a genus of clavarioid fungi in the family Phyllotopsidaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are simple, narrowly club-shaped to filiform, sometimes arising from a sclerotium. They typically grow on dead wood or leaf litter, often in swarms.

Cystolepiota bucknallii is a species of basidiomycete fungus of the genus Cystolepiota. Found throughout Europe, it is a rare fungus occurring in deciduous forests. The small fruit bodies bear a distinctive smell of coal gas and appear in autumn on damp ground. It is not an edible mushroom.

Ceraceomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 16 species.

Athelia arachnoidea is a corticioid fungus in the family Atheliaceae. The species forms thin, white, cobwebby basidiocarps (fruit bodies) and typically occurs saprotrophically on leaf litter and fallen wood. It can, however, also be a facultative parasite of lichens and can additionally be a plant pathogen (typically found in its asexual Fibularhizoctonia carotae state), causing "crater rot" of stored carrots.

Psathyrella maculata is a species of mushroom in the family Psathyrellaceae. Found most frequently in Europe, it was described as new to science by C.S. Parker and in 1972 given its current name by mycologist Alexander H. Smith.

Phellinus lundellii is a species of fungus belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is found in Eurasia and North America.

Lepiota brunneolilacea, also known as the star dapperling, is a gilled mushroom of the genus Lepiota in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain deadly amounts of alpha-Amanitin, and was responsible for a fatal poisoning.

Junghuhnia nitida is a widespread species of crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae.

Discina fastigiata is a species of fungus in the family Discinaceae. Its common names are brown false morel and brown gyromitra. It is related to species containing the toxin monomethylhydrazine, so its consumption is not advised.

The Ceratocystidaceae are a family of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae.

The Raveneliaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contains 26 genera and about 323 species.

Radulodon is a genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1972 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden, with R. americanus as the type species.

Junghuhnia collabens is a species of fungus belonging to the family Steccherinaceae. It has cosmopolitan distribution.

The Halosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the Sordariomycetes class, subclass Hypocreomycetidae. Halosphaeriaceae is the family with the largest number of marine fungi with a few species are from freshwater and terrestrial habitats (Jones et al. 2009, 2015, 2017, 2019; Hyde et al. 2020a). As of 2015, it had 141 species distributed among 59 genera, that had increased to 64 genera in 2020.

The Euantennariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Capnodiales.

Trichophaeopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae.

Seiridium cardinale is a species of fungus within the genus of Seiridium, in the Sporocadaceae family. It is the primary cause of Cypress canker, a fungal disease that affects various species of trees in the genus Cupressus, including Cupressus sempervirens, the Provence cypress. This disease leads to the decline of infected trees and has led to the destruction of millions in central Italy in particular. It causes branch and trunk cankers. In 2009, it was found in Morocco on Cupressus sempervirens trees.

Oxyporus corticola, commonly known as the boring poria, is a species of fungus. It grows on hardwood and conifer logs. It has also been documented infecting humans and dogs. It is inedible.

The Metacapnodiaceae was a monotypic family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Dothideomycetes. The family contained the single genus Metacapnodium. Wijayawardene et al. 2022 added 2 other genera to the family.

Leptosporomyces is a genus of resupinate (crust-like) fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. The genus is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and contains 11 species.
