Fungi named in 2005

Mycetinis alliaceus (syn. Marasmius alliaceus), commonly known as the garlic parachute, is one of the larger mushrooms formerly in the genus Marasmius, having a beige cap of up to 4 cm and a long tough slender stipe. It emanates a strong smell of garlic, and this is the significance of the Latin species name, alliaceus. It is distributed throughout Europe, being fairly common in some areas and quite rare in others.

Mycetinis scorodonius (syn. Marasmius scorodonius) is one of the garlic-scented mushrooms formerly in the genus Marasmius, having a beige cap of up to 3 cm and a tough slender stipe.

Leccinum albostipitatum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. This large, orange-capped mushroom forms beneficial relationships with poplar trees across Europe. First described scientifically in 2005, it was previously confused with similar orange species but can be distinguished by its white stipe with fine scales that darken with age and its flesh that changes colour when cut. The mushroom grows in poplar stands and mixed forests throughout Scandinavia and mountainous areas of central Europe.

Hebeloma laterinum is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.

Rhodonia placenta is a species of crust fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. A brown rot species, it is found in China, Europe, and North America, where it grows on decaying conifer wood.

Ceratocystis platani is a fungus that causes a disease on plane trees in the genus Platanus, mostly in North America and Southern Europe.

The Wallemiomycetes are a class of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. It consists of the single order Wallemiales, containing the single family Wallemiaceae, which in turn contains the single genus Wallemia. The phylogenetic origin of the lineage was placed to various parts of Basidiomycota, but according to the analysis of a larger dataset it is a sister group of Agaricomycotina. The genus contains species of xerophilic molds that are found worldwide. The seven described species (W. sebi, W. ichthyophaga, W. muriae, W. mellicola, W. canadensis, W. tropicalis, and W. hederae) are

Annulohypoxylon, sometimes called cramp balls, is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. The 27 species in the genus have a collectively widespread distribution. The genus Annulohypoxylon was created in 2005 and contains species formerly placed in the closely related genus Hypoxylon (it is equivalent to Hypoxylon section Annulata sensu). Fossils of Annulohypoxylon have been found in 12 million year old rocks from central England.

Jamesiella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. Members of Jamesiella form thin, delicate crusts on tree bark, rocks, and mosses in humid tropical and temperate forests, distributed across North and South America and Europe. The genus is distinguished from its close relative Gyalideopsis by a unique type of asexual reproductive structure called thlasidia, which are specialized stalks containing both fungal filaments and algal cells that detach and disperse as complete units capable of establishing new lichens.

Cryomyces minteri is a fungus of uncertain placement in the class Dothideomycetes, division Ascomycota. The rock-inhabiting fungus that was discovered in the McMurdo Dry Valleys located in Antarctica, on fragments of rock colonized by a local cryptoendolithic community. In 2008, Cryomyces minteri and Cryomyces antarcticus were simultaneously tested in low Earth orbit conditions on the EXPOSE-E facility on the EuTEF (European Technology Exposure Facility) platform outside the International Space Station for 18 months. It was also tested in a space vacuum along with polychromatic UV radiation

Cryomyces antarcticus is a fungus of uncertain placement in the class Dothideomycetes, division Ascomycota. Found in Antarctica, it was described as new to science in 2005. It has been found to be able to survive the harsh outer space environment and cosmic radiation. A proposed mechanistic contributor to the unique resilience observed in C. antarcticus is the presence of its thick and highly melanized cell walls. This melanin may act to protect DNA from damage while C. antarcticus is exposed to conditions that are unsuitable for typical DNA repair systems to function.

Boletus reticuloceps is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1993 as Aureoboletus reticuloceps, and later transferred to the genus Boletus in 2005. The fruit bodies have a dry cap, that is yellowish-brown, deeply wrinkled and reticulated, and covered with fibrils that form minute brown scales. Its stem is finely reticulated. The hymenophore is white when young, but becomes yellow in maturity. The flesh does not change color when bruised or injured. Its spores are olive-brown to brown. The species is found in Asia; the type collection

Parmelia barrenoae is a species of foliose lichen in the large family Parmeliaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2005. Before this, it was lumped together as one of several lichens in the Parmelia sulcata group—a species complex of genetically distinct lookalikes. Parmelia barrenoae is widely distributed, occurring in Europe, western North America, Africa, and Asia. The greenish grey to whitish grey leafy thallus of Parmelia barrenoae grows up to 10 cm (4 in) in diameter. Features of the thallus surface include tiny pores for gas exchange, and vegetative propagules called

Neodasyscypha is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Hyaloscyphaceae. The species of this genus are found in Europe, Northern America and Australia. Species: Neodasyscypha cerina (Pers.) Spooner Neodasyscypha subciboria (Rodway) Spooner

Hebeloma vejlense is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. Discovered in Denmark growing on a lawn under Tilia, it was described as new to science in 2005.

Erastia is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single European species Erastia salmonicolor, or the salmon bracket. Erastia was circumscribed by Finnish mycologists Tuomo Niemelä and Juha Kinnunen in 2005. It is named in honour of the Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto, "the eminent researcher of fungal taxonomy and cladistics".

Dacryoscyphus is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the Dacrymycetales order. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Dacryoscyphus chrysochilus, found in China. The genus and species were formally described in 2005.

Cryptothecia punctosorediata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Arthoniaceae. Found in northern Thailand, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Laurens Sparrius. The type specimen was collected from Ban Hauy Som Poy (Nan Province) at an elevation of 300 m (980 ft); here it was found growing on the smooth bark of the mango tree Mangifera indica. It contains the secondary compound gyrophoric acid. The specific epithet punctosorediata refers to the punctiform (dot-like and minute) soralia. At the time of publication, C. punctosorediata was

Caespitotheca is a genus of fungi in the family Erysiphaceae. The monotypic genus contains the single species Caespitotheca forestalis, which forms powdery mildew on leaves of plants in the genus Schinopsis.

Tetramelas pulverulentus is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Caliciaceae. Originally described from Italy in 1860, this inconspicuous fungus lives hidden within the white inner tissue (medulla) of its host lichen rather than forming a visible crust on the surface. It produces tiny black fruiting bodies that contain brown ascospores and is distinguished from related species by having spores divided into three compartments (septa).

Tetramelas phaeophysciae is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Caliciaceae. It is a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) species that grows on other lichens, primarily Phaeophyscia and Physcia species on rocks. Found in arctic to subalpine climates, records are documented from Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland, and parts of central and northern Asia. The species was described in 2005 after DNA evidence showed it was distinct from the closely related Tetramelas pulverulentus.

Rostraureum tropicale is a species of fungus from genus Rostraureum that is found in Ecuador.

Rhodonia is a genus of fungal crust fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The species in the genus are species of brown rot, found in China, Europe, and North America, where it grows on decaying conifer wood.

Placopsis fusciduloides is a species of lichen in the family Trapeliaceae. It was described by David J. Galloway from New Zealand, after he recognised that some specimens filed under other names (especially P. gelida) represented an undescribed taxon; additional material was later matched to the same species from British Columbia (Canada) and Bolivia. It was subsequently documented from Chile and Argentina in southern South America.

Parmotrema albinatum is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae that is found in Hawaii. It was originally described in 2001 as Rimelia albinata. Later phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the genus Rimelia was synonymous with Parmotrema, so this species was transferred to that genus. The lichen is characterized by the sorediate and short-lacinulate (containing glands) thallus with salazinic acid in the medulla and traces of lobaric acid. The upper surface of the thallus is whitish, which probably a result of the thickness of the thick upper cortex.
