Fungi named in 1987

Armillaria gallica (synonymous with A. bulbosa and A. lutea) is a species of honey mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae of the order Agaricales. The species is a common and ecologically important wood-decay fungus that can live as a saprobe, or as an opportunistic parasite in weakened tree hosts to cause root or butt rot. It is found in temperate regions of Asia, North America, and Europe. The species forms fruit bodies singly or in groups in soil or rotting wood. The fungus has been inadvertently introduced to South Africa. Armillaria gallica has had a confusing taxonomy, due in part to

The Chaetothyriales are an order of ascomycetous fungi in the class Eurotiomycetes and within the subclass Chaetothyriomycetidae. The order was circumscribed in 1987 by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow.

Rhodocybe gemina is a species of fungus in the family Entolomataceae. It has the recommended English name of tan pinkgill and produces agaricoid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are fleshy and cream when young, becoming brownish when mature.

Trametes ochracea is a common polypore mushroom native to North America and Europe, although rarer than some other Trametes species. It is a related species to, and is a lookalike of the pale variety of Trametes versicolor. Like T. versicolor, it is commonly called turkey tail, and other common names are ochre bracket and ochre trametes. T. ochracea is a close relative of the more famous T. versicolor, so research into its medicinal value is limited yet occurring, and it is likely it is of similar medicinal value.

Hebeloma theobrominum is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. Described as new to science in 1987, it is found in Europe. It is the type species of Hebeloma section Theobromina, which includes H. alboerumpens, H. erumpens, H. griseopruinatum, H. parvicystidiatum, H. plesiocistum, and H. vesterholtii.

Placopyrenium is a genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichens in the family Verrucariaceae.

Parmelia submontana is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. First described in 1987, it is characterised by a loosely attached, greenish-grey body (thallus) reaching diameters of 10–15 cm (4–6 in), with elongated linear lobes and distinctive powdery structures (isidia-like soredia) for reproduction. The species has a complex taxonomic history, having been independently discovered twice – first in Greece in 1832 and later in eastern Bohemia in 1951 – and was long misidentified as related species before being recognised as distinct. It differs

Neozygitaceae is a family of fungi in the order Entomophthorales. The family was circumscribed in 1987. Originally created to contain the genera Neozygites and Thaxterosporium, the family was distinguished from other similar Entomophthorales families by differences in its nuclear structure, and behaviour during mitosis. The genus Apterivorax was erected and added to the family in 2005. Genus Thaxterosporium has since been synonymised with Neozygites.

Miriquidica is a genus of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1987 by the lichenologists Hannes Hertel and Gerhard Rambold, with Miriquidica complanata assigned as the type species. According to Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains 23 species, found predominantly in arctic-alpine regions.

Megaspora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Megasporaceae. It contains four species of crustose lichens that typically grow on soil, bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), or plant litter on chalky substrates.

The Leptosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. The family was circumscribed by mycologist Margaret E. Barr in 1987. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contained 8 genera and 302 species. The family has a widespread distribution, but is especially prevalent in temperate regions. Species are either saprobic or grow as nectrotrophs (organisms that grow and reproduce on dead cells) on the stems or leaves of plants.

Gloeohypochnicium is a genus of wood-inhabiting crust fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Russulales. Originally conceived by Erast Parmasto as a subgenus of Hypochnicium, Kurt Hjortstam considered it worthy of distinct generic status in 1987. The type species, G. analogum, was described as new to science in 1913 by French mycologists Hubert Bourdot and Amédée Galzin as a species of Gloeocystidium. G. versatum was added to the genus in 2010.

Dicephalospora is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Brian Spooner in 1987. These ascomycete fungi occur on rotten wood, twigs and leaf stems.

Clavomphalia is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing only Clavomphalia yunnanensis, a Chinese species first described by German mycologist Egon Horak in 1987.

Brodoa is a genus of three species of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. The genus, circumscribed in 1986 by Trevor Goward, is named in honour of the lichenologist Irwin Brodo.

The Seuratiaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota division. This family can not yet be taxonomically classified in any of the ascomycetous classes and orders with any degree of certainty (incertae sedis). The genus name of Seuratia is in honour of Léon Gaston Seurat (1872–1949) was a French zoologist and parasitologist known for his investigations of fauna native to French Polynesia and northern Africa.

Setulipes was a proposed genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. This group of mushrooms, described by the Czech mycologist Vladimír Antonín in 1987, has a widespread distribution in north temperate areas, and would contain about 25 species. In 2004, it was reported that molecular analysis indicates the type species "S. androsaceus" to lie within the genus Gymnopus. In a 2010 monograph, referring to Mata's paper, Antonín himself confirmed that all the Setulipes species should be included in Gymnopus and not constitute a separate genus. Also Species Fungorum agrees with this interpretation.

Sagenidiopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It was circumscribed in 1987 by lichenologists Roderick Rogers and Josef Hafellner to contain the type species S. merrotsii, found in Australia. The characteristic features of the genus include the byssoid (cottony) thallus and bitunicate asci (enclosed in a double wall) that lack amyloid structures that are apparent in the thallus.

The Saccharomycopsidaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the family contains three genera, although the placement of the genus Ambrosiozyma is uncertain. Species in this poorly known family have a widespread distribution.

Psora pseudorussellii, the bordered scale, is a species of rock-dwelling squamulose lichen in the family Psoraceae. It forms patches of small, brown, scale-like structures with distinctive white margins on limestone and other calcareous rocks in eastern and southern North America, from southeastern Canada south into Mexico. The species was described in 1986 to separate it from similar material that had been confused with Psora russellii, and DNA studies have confirmed that it is restricted to North America, with European and Asian specimens previously identified as this species actually

Penicillium ulaiense is a plant pathogen that causes whisker mould. It is considered an important infection of citrus fruit, especially in packinghouses. P. ulaiense is a citrus postharvest pathogenic fungus described as a member of the serie Italica, together with P. italicum. In 1987, mycologists in Taiwan published a description of P. ulaiense. Authors familiar with green and blue moulds of citrus had mistaken the fungus for P. italicum and dismissed its unique features as variations due to particular environmental conditions. To date, P. ulaiense has been reported in Argentina, Arizona,

The Parodiellaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. It contains the single genus Parodiella, which has four species.

Hypotrachyna is a genus of lichenized fungi within the family Parmeliaceae. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains about 198 species. Hypotrachyna was circumscribed by American lichenologist Mason Ellsworth Hale Jr in 1974.

Myelochroa is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. They are commonly known as axil-bristle lichens. It was created in 1987 to contain species formerly placed in genus Parmelina that had a yellow-orange medulla due to the presence of secalonic acids. Characteristics of the genus include tightly attached thalli with narrow lobes, cilia on the axils, and a rhizinate black lower surface. Chemical characteristics are the production of zeorin and related triterpenoids in the medulla. Myelochroa contains about 30 species, most of which grow on bark. The genus has centres of
