Fungi named in 1980

Clathrus archeri (synonyms Lysurus archeri, Anthurus archeri, Pseudocolus archeri), commonly known as octopus stinkhorn or devil's fingers, is a fungus which has a global distribution. This species was first described in 1980 in a collection from Tasmania. The young fungus erupts from a suberumpent egg by forming into four to seven elongated slender arms initially erect and attached at the top. The arms then unfold to reveal a pinkish-red interior covered with a dark-olive spore-containing gleba. In maturity it smells like putrid flesh.

The Marasmiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are most frequently agarics (gilled mushrooms), but occasionally cyphelloid (in the genus Cellypha). According to a 2008 estimate, the family contained 54 genera and 1590 species, but molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has led to a more restricted family concept, so that the Marasmiaceae included just 13 genera, and some 1205 species. It was reduced further down in 2020, to 10 genera and about 700 species.

The Pleurotaceae are a family of small to medium-sized mushrooms which have white spores. The family contains 13 genera over 412 species. Members of Pleurotaceae can be mistaken for members of Marasmiaceae. Perhaps the best known member is the oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus. Many species in the genera Pleurotus and Hohenbuehelia are nematophagous, that is, they derive nutrition by consuming nematodes. This is made possible by hyphae that may have adhesive knobs that attach to passing nematodes and secrete nematotoxic compounds.

The Eurotiales are an order of sac fungi, also known as the green and blue molds. It was circumscribed in 1980.

The Albatrellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Russulales. The family contains 9 genera and more than 45 species.

The Onygenales are an order of fungi in the class Eurotiomycetes and division Ascomycota. The order's last common ancestor is estimated to have lived 150 million years ago. Onygenales can consume and break down keratin, the main component of the outer layer of skin. They are primarily found on animals, droppings, and areas frequented by animals. Many are dimorphic, and can change from mold to yeast form depending on their environment. Many onygenalean fungi are pathogens. One species, Trichophyton rubrum, is the primary cause of athlete's foot. This order also includes the Coccidioides

The Ophiostomatales are an order of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. They are commonly symbionts to insect species, which can be found in numerous cases, including some termites and many bark beetles. In the cases of most beetle symbioses, the Ophiostomatales fungi is carried in mycangia, which help keep fungal inoculants close to the beetle at all times. In some cases, the fungi are the main source of food for the beetles. In others, the relationship is not as clear.

The Microascales are an order of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae. This is a relatively small order of mostly saprobic fungi that live in soil, rotting vegetation and dung. Some species are plant pathogens, such as Ceratocystis fimbriata, transmitted by beetles to living trees and causing cacao wilt and many other economically important diseases. Species in the genus Pseudallescheria (family Microascaceae) are pathogenic to humans The order was circumscribed in 1980. Wijayawardene et al. in 2020 added more families and genera to the order.

The Hygrophoropsidaceae are a family of mushrooms that are gilled in appearance but lie within the Boletales. The family contains 18 species within two genera: Leucogyrophana and Hygrophoropsis, with the best-known member being the "false chanterelle", Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. Hygrophoropsidaceae was circumscribed by French mycologist Robert Kühner in 1980, with Hygrophoropsis as the type genus. Unlike most members of the Boletales, Hygrophoropsidaceae species are saprophytic wood-rotting fungi that cause brown rot in their hosts. The genera Austropaxillus and Tapinella, once placed in this

Antrodiella is a genus of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae of the order Polyporales.

Spizellomycetales is an order of fungi in the Chytridiomycetes. Spizellomycetalean chytrids are essentially ubiquitous zoospore-producing fungi found in soils where they decompose pollen. Recently they have also been found in dung and harsh alpine environments, greatly expanding the range of habitats where one can expect to find these fungi.

Cyptotrama asprata (alternatively spelled aspratum), commonly known as the golden-scruffy collybia or spiny woodknight is a saprobic species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This fungus has had a varied taxonomical history, having been placed in fourteen genera before finally settling in Cyptotrama. It is characterized by the bright orange to yellow cap that in young specimens is covered with tufts of fibrils resembling small spikes. This species is differentiated from several other similar members of genus by variations in cap color, and spore size and shape. It is widely

Austroboletus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The widely distributed genus contains species that form mycorrhizal relationships with plants.

Trapeliopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Trapeliaceae. These lichens form thin, granular crusts or tiny overlapping scales (squamules) that create miniature rosette patterns on their growing surface. The genus was established in 1980 by Hannes Hertel and Gotthard Schneider and includes about 20 species found worldwide.

Entoloma conferendum is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Entolomataceae. In the UK it has been given the recommended English name of Star Pinkgill, based on its distinctive basidiospores. The species is widespread throughout Europe, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland, and has also been reported from North America.

Conferticium is a genus of fungi in the Stereaceae family.

Baeomyces is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Baeomycetaceae. Members of Baeomyces are commonly called beret lichens. These lichens are radily recognised by their distinctive "matchstick" appearance, with small brown fruiting bodies held up on short stalks above a crusty base. They typically grow in disturbed habitats such as roadsides, bare soil, and mining sites, where they act as pioneer colonisers of acidic ground.

Hypochniciellum is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Amylocorticiaceae. Species in the genus have white to cream, resupinate fruit bodies (growing flat, like a crust). The hyphae have clamp connections. The spores are roughly elliptical, yellowish, and smooth.

Euceratomycetaceae is a family of fungi in the order Laboulbeniales. These fungi, found mostly in temperate zones, tend to be parasitic or epibiotic on insect exoskeletons.

Diploschistes muscorum is a species of lichen-forming fungus belonging to the family Graphidaceae. It has cosmopolitan distribution. In Nepal, Diploschistes muscorum has been reported from 900 to 2,160 m elevation in a compilation of published records.

Conocybe moseri is a mushroom species in the family Bolbitiaceae. It was described as new to science in 1980 by mycologist Roy Watling, from collections made in France. The specific epithet moseri honours Austrian mycologist Meinhard Moser. The fungus has been reported from the United Kingdom, growing in grassy areas, fields, and edges of woods. In 1995, it was recorded from Switzerland, from Ukraine in 2007, and from Russia in 2007. It was reported from India in 2015, where it was found growing on cattle dung.

Jahnoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Albatrellaceae. There are two species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution in northern temperate regions. The type species, J. hirtus, was transferred to this genus in 1980; it was formerly known as Piptoporus hirtus. The genus name of Jahnoporus is in honour of Hermann Jahn (1911 - 1987) German teacher, Ornithologist and Botanist (Mycology). The genus was circumscribed by Ingo Nuss in Hoppea vol.39 on page 176 in 1980.

Hemimycena tortuosa, commonly known as the dewdrop bonnet, is a species of basidiomycete fungus of the family Mycenaceae, in the order Agaricales.

Entoloma cuspidiferum is a species of fungus in the family Entolomataceae, first described by Machiel Noordeloos.

Diplocarpon mespili is a pathogenic fungus which causes quince leaf blight, a leaf disease affecting chiefly common quince. It occurs in wet summers, causing severe leaf spotting and early defoliation, also affecting fruit to a lesser extent. It may also affect other Rosaceae such as hawthorn and medlar, but is typically less damaging than on quince.

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