Stropharia caerulea, commonly known as the blue roundhead, is a species of mushroom forming fungus in the family Strophariaceae. It is a somewhat common species found in Europe and North America, where it grows as a saprophyte in meadows, roadsides, hedgerows, gardens, and woodchip mulch. S. caerulea was officially described to science in 1979, although it was known to be a distinct species for about two centuries before that. The scientific name Stropharia cyanea, as defined by Tuomikoski in 1953, and used by several later authors, is a synonym of S. caerulea. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) of

Evernia is a genus of bushy lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. Oakmoss Evernia prunastri is used as a fixative agent in Eau de Cologne within the perfume industry. It is green on top and white on bottom, and divides evenly into "forks"; it becomes very soft when wet. It is not to be confused with Ramalina, which is straplike, stiff and bristly, green on top and bottom, and divides unevenly. Evernia is an abundant genus, found growing on trees.

The Stephanosporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Species in the family are gasteroid or corticioid, growing on the ground or on rotting wood or plant debris.

Amanita submembranacea is a species of fungus belonging to the family Amanitaceae. It is native to Europe and Northern America.

The Venturiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Venturiales. Several of the species in this family are plant pathogens.

Omphalotus illudens, commonly known as the eastern jack-o'lantern mushroom, is a North American species of fungus.

Gamundia is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. The genus contains six species found in Europe and temperate regions of South America. The genus name of Gamundia is in honour of Irma Josefa Gamundí (nee Amos) (b.1927), an Argentinian botanist, Professor of Botany at the Universidad Nacional del Comahue. The genus was circumscribed by Jörg Raithelhuber in Metrodiana Vol.8 (2.3) on page 34 in 1979.

Aphanobasidium is a genus of corticioid or crust fungi in the Radulomycetaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains several species. This genus was formally considered to be part of the Pterulaceae family. A major reclassification of the Pterulaceae family occurred in 2020 and the genera Aphanobasidium, Radulomyces and Radulotubus were moved to a new family, Radulomycetaceae by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith.

Pseudomerulius is a genus of fungi in the Tapinellaceae family. The genus is widespread and contains two species. P. aureus is noted as being inedible.

The Phaeosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Species in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are generally nectrotrophic or saprobic on a wide range of plants. Wijayawardene et al. 2020 produced an update that recognized 82 genera.

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

Gyrophanopsis is a fungal genus in the family Meruliaceae. Circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1979, the genus contains two species of crust fungi: the type, Gyrophanopsis zealandica, and G. polonensis, added to the genus in 1991.

The Chaetothyriaceae are a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. A 2012 molecular analysis of specimens collected from northern Thailand revealed three new species in the family (Ceramothyrium thailandicum, Chaetothyrium brischofiacola and Phaeosaccardinula ficus).

Bovista aestivalis is a species of small puffball in the family Agaricaceae. It is generally found in the coastal regions of California, but was reported from Korea in 2015. This fungus is often confused with Bovista dermoxantha, because of its similar peridium, and Bovista plumbea. The surest way to tell the species apart is to examine the spores and exoperidium, respectively, with a microscope.

The Tubeufiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Tubeufiales of the class Dothideomycetes. The family was circumscribed in 1979 by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow.

Skeletocutis stellae is a species of fungus belonging to the family Polyporaceae. It is native to Eurasia and Northern America. S. stellae is found growing on spruce and pine, mostly in old-growth, undisturbed forest habitats. (Kotiranta & Niemelä 1996, Niemelä 1998).

Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum is a mitosporic fungus that causes the butternut canker, a lethal disease of butternut trees (Juglans cinerea). It is also known to parasitize other members of the genus Juglans on occasion, and very rarely other related trees including hickories. The fungus is found throughout North America, occurring on up to 91% of butternut trees, and may be threatening the viability of butternut as a species.

The Pleomassariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa have a widespread distribution in both temperate and tropical regions, and are saprobic or necrotrophic on wood, bark, and other herbaceous material. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow in 1979.

Entrophospora is a genus of fungi in the family Acaulosporaceae of the Glomeromycota. The name is derived from the Greek words en (within), trophos (nourished or reared), and spora (spore). The generic description was emended in 2011. The following species are recognized in this genus: Entrophospora argentinensis Błaszk., B.T.Goto, Magurno, Niezgoda & Cabello Entrophospora candida (E.Furrazola, Kaonongbua & Bever) Błaszk., Niezgoda, B.T.Goto & Magurno Entrophospora claroidea (N.C.Schenck & G.S.Sm.) Błaszk., Niezgoda, B.T.Goto & Magurno Entrophospora drummondii (Błaszk. & Renker) Błaszk.,

Dumontinia is a fungal genus in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Dumontinia tuberosa, found in Europe. The genus name of Dumontinia is in honour of Kent Parsons Dumont (b.1941), an American botanist (Mycology) from the New York Botanical Garden. The genus was circumscribed by Linda M.Kohn in Mycotaxon Vol.9 (Issue 2) on page 432 in 1979.

Tinctoporellus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Species in the genus produce crust-like fruit bodies with pore-containing surfaces. The type species, T. epimiltinus, grows on the wood of angiosperms and is widespread in distribution. Tinctoporellus was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1979. He suggested that Antrodia was closely related based on morphological similarities. The Brazilian species Tinctoporellus isabellinus was added to the genus in 2003, while T. bubalinus and T. hinnuleus, found in China, were reported as new to science in 2012.
