Fungi named in 1977

Leucocoprinus leucothites, commonly known as the smooth parasol, woman on motorcycle, ma'am on motorcycle, white dapperling, or white agaricus mushroom, is a species of agaric fungus found in disturbed areas.

Leucocoprinus nympharum is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae.

Bryoria is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. Many members of this genus are known as horsehair lichens. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in boreal and cool temperate areas. These lichens typically grow as slender, hair-like strands that hang from conifer trees or form small bushes, ranging in colour from dark brown to pale grey. They play important ecological roles, particularly as winter food for caribou in northern forests, where some species can accumulate in large quantities in the forest canopy. The genus contains about 35 species found worldwide,

Trichoderma reesei is a mesophilic and filamentous fungus. It is an anamorph of the fungus Hypocrea jecorina. T. reesei can secrete large amounts of cellulolytic enzymes (cellulases and hemicellulases). Microbial cellulases have industrial application in the conversion of cellulose, a major component of plant biomass, into glucose. T. reesei isolate QM6a was originally isolated from the Solomon Islands during World War II because of its degradation of canvas and garments of the US army. All strains currently used in biotechnology and basic research were derived from this isolate. Recent

Hygrocybe reidii, commonly known as the honey waxcap, is a mushroom of the waxcap genus Hygrocybe.

Exophiala dermatitidis is a thermophilic black yeast, and a member of the Herpotrichiellaceae. While the species is only found at low abundance in nature, metabolically active strains are commonly isolated in saunas, steam baths, and dish washers. Exophiala dermatitidis only rarely causes infection in humans, however cases have been reported around the world. In East Asia, the species has caused lethal brain infections in young and otherwise healthy individuals. The fungus has been known to cause cutaneous and subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, and as a lung colonist in people with cystic

Bryoria fuscescens is a species of lichen of the family Parmeliaceae. As of July 2021, its conservation status has not been estimated by the IUCN. In Iceland, where it grows as an epiphyte on downy birch stems and branches, it is classified as a vulnerable species (VU).

Bryoria fremontii is a dark brown horsehair lichen that grows hanging from trees in western North America, and northern Europe and Asia. It grows abundantly in some areas, and is an important traditional food for a few First Nations in North America.

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is a species of yeast in the genus Zygosaccharomyces. Initially described as Saccharomyces rouxii by Boutroux in 1883, it was then moved to the genus Zygosaccharomyces in the work of Barnett et al. It is remarkably tolerant of high concentrations of sugar or salt, making it a spoilage agent in otherwise stable foods, but is also used in fermentation of some products such as soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.

Ascodichaena rugosa is a species of fungus in the family Ascodichaenaceae. It was first scientifically described as a new species by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Lichen rugosum. Heinz Butin transferred it to the newly circumscribed genus Ascodichaena in 1977, in which it is the type species.

Phaeophyscia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. These lichens typically appear as leaf-like (foliose) growths that spread across tree bark, rocks, or other surfaces, usually in well-lit, nutrient-rich environments. Their structure consists of short or long lobes that range in colour from pale grey to dark brown, becoming dark green when wet, and they often have dark undersides with root-like attachments (rhizines). The genus is distinguished from its relatives by its unique chemical composition and reproductive features, lacking a substance called atranorin and

Cladonia asahinae, the pixie cup lichen or Asahina's cup lichen, is a species of cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. C. asahinae occurs in Europe, North America, southern South America, and the Antarctic. It typically grows in high moisture environments in soil rich in humus or on dead wood.

Bryoria nadvornikiana, commonly known as the spiny grey horsehair lichen or the blonde horsehair lichen, is a species of horsehair lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. In Nepal, B. nadvornikiana has been reported from 3,800 to 3,900 m elevation in a compilation of published records.

Vesiculomyces is a genus of fungi in the Peniophoraceae family.

Psilocybe stuntzii, also known as Stuntz's blue legs and blue ringers it is a psilocybin mushroom of the family Hymenogastraceae, having psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds.

Pseudephebe minuscula is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. In North America, it is known colloquially as coarse rockwool. It has an antitropical distribution.

Phaeophyscia endophoenicea is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) foliose lichen in the family Physciaceae. It is characterized by a grey to pale brown rosette-forming thallus that grows 1–3 cm wide. It features narrow lobes with yellowish to reddish powdery reproductive structures called soredia, and a distinctive black lower surface with abundant root-like rhizines that anchor it to its substrate. The lichen's inner tissue (medulla) is typically yellow to orange-red in its lower part. Though rare and possibly underreported, P. endophoenicea primarily grows on the bark of slanting trees

Moesziomyces bullatus is a fungal plant pathogen.

Macalpinomyces is a fungus genus in the Ustilaginaceae family. It has a widespread distribution, almost worldwide. These smut fungi from Ustilaginomycotina contain about 540 described species. Species from the complex often possess characteristics that occur in more than one genus, creating uncertainty for species placement. The genus name of Macalpinomyces is in honour of Daniel McAlpine (1849–1932), who was a Scottish-born Australian mycologist known for his research in plant pathology. The genus was circumscribed by Raymond Forbes Newton Langdon and R.A. Fullerton in Trans. Brit. Mycol.

Exophiala jeanselmei is a saprotrophic fungus in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. Four varieties have been discovered: Exophiala jeanselmei var. heteromorpha, E. jeanselmei var. lecanii-corni, E. jeanselmei var. jeanselmei, and E. jeanselmei var. castellanii. Other species in the genus Exophiala such as E. dermatitidis and E. spinifera have been reported to have similar annellidic conidiogenesis and may therefore be difficult to differentiate.

Dematioscypha is a genus of fungi within the Hyaloscyphaceae family. The genus contains 3 species.
