Fungi named in 2008

Xerocomellus chrysenteron, formerly known as Boletus chrysenteron or Xerocomus chrysenteron and commonly known as the red cracking bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The small mushroom has tubes and pores instead of gills beneath their caps. It is edible but not choice.

Hemileccinum impolitum is a basidiomycete fungus of the family Boletaceae, native to Europe. It is commonly referred to as the iodine bolete, because its fruit bodies tend to emit an iodine-like odour when cut, more detectable in the stem base or overripe specimens. Like other members of the family, H. impolitum has tubes and pores instead of gills in the hymenial surface of its fruit bodies. It is widely distributed in temperate and southern Europe, where it grows in mycorrhizal symbiosis with broad-leaved trees, particularly oak (Quercus).

Xerocomellus pruinatus, commonly known as the matte bolete and formerly known as Boletus pruinatus or Xerocomus pruinatus, is a mushroom in the family Boletaceae native to Europe. It was transferred to the new genus Xerocomellus described by Czech mycologist Josef Šutara in 2008.

Xerocomellus porosporus is a small wild mushroom in the family Boletaceae. These mushrooms have tubes and pores instead of gills beneath their caps. It is commonly known as the sepia bolete.

Xerocomellus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus, as it was described in 2008, contained 12 species. However X. rubellus and X. engelii were transferred to the new genus Hortiboletus and X. armeniacus was transferred to the new genus Rheubarbariboletus in 2015. Molecular analysis supports the distinction of Xerocomellus species from Boletus and Xerocomus, within which these species were formerly contained. Xerocomellus in fact is only distantly related to Xerocomus and is most closely related to Tylopilus, Boletus sensu stricto, Porphyrellus, Strobilomyces, and

Leratiomyces ceres, commonly known as the chip cherry or redlead roundhead, is a mushroom which has a bright red to orange cap and dark purple-brown spore deposit. The name Stropharia aurantiaca has been used extensively but incorrectly for this mushroom (together with a number of similar synonyms). It is usually found growing gregariously on wood chips and is one of the most common and most distinctive mushrooms found in that habitat. It is common on wood chips and lawns in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.

Gnomonia leptostyla is a fungal plant pathogen. It is newly named Ophiognomonia leptostyla and occurs on walnut (Juglans spp.) and causes leaf blotch and leaf spots which is called walnut anthracnose or walnut black spot. The anamorph is Marssoniella juglandis.

Leratiomyces squamosus, commonly known as the slender roundhead, is an inedible mushroom in the family Strophariaceae.

Hemileccinum is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was erected in 2008 by Josef Šutara to contain two species united by a number of shared morphological features: H. depilatum and the type H. impolitum. In 2014, Wu et al. found it to be distinct from other bolete genera in a molecular phylogenetic study and found it to be most closely related to Corneroboletus. In 2015, H. subglabripes was transferred to Hemileccinum from Boletus based on DNA evidence, while subsequent studies further confirmed the monophyly of the genus.

The Chorioactidaceae are a family of cup fungi in the order Pezizales, first described to contain seven species distributed among five genera. Pseudosarcosoma was added in 2013 to contain P. latahense when molecular phylogenetic studies demonstrated the fungus to be more closely related to the Chorioactidaceae than to Sarcosoma (family Sarcosomataceae). With the addition of Trichaleurina, the genus is currently composed of six genera. Ecologically, taxa in this family are saprotrophic, and inhabit temperate and subtropical regions.

Trametopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Irpicaceae.

The Gallaceaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hysterangiales, containing species found in Australia and New Zealand. The family contains three genera and 16 species.

The Trypetheliales are an order of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. Most of the species in the order form lichens, although some are lichenicolous fungi. Trypetheliales contains two families, Polycoccaceae and Trypetheliaceae.

The Trappeaceae are a family of truffle-like fungi in the order Hysterangiales. The family contains two genera and four species.

Leratiomyces percevalii, commonly known as mulch maid, is a medium-sized saprobic mushroom. Its cap is up to 8 centimetres (3+1⁄4 in) wide, yellowish-orange, bun-shaped then bell-shaped, becoming shallowly convex. Its gills are adnexed to shortly decurrent and whitish to purplish gray or purple-blackish. It is common in urban areas and near trails and roads, as well as under conifers in western North America. Its edibility is unknown.

Helvella fibrosa is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. It was originally known as Octospora villosa when first scientifically described by the German botanist Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wallroth in 1833, and was placed in a number of different genera throughout the decades, including Peziza, Fuckelina, and Cyathipodia. The current generic placement was proposed by Richard P. Korf in 2008.

Cantharellus californicus, also called the California golden chanterelle, mud puppy, or oak chanterelle, is a fungus native to California, United States. It is a member of the genus Cantharellus along with other popular edible chanterelles. It is generally similar in appearance to C. cibarius and C. formosus except for its large size at maturity.

Atla is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. It has nine species that grow on rocks or on soil.

Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a species of ascomycete and teleomorphic fungi of the genus Wickerhamomyces. It is used as a preventive (biocontrol agent) for undesirable fungi or mold, nevertheless it may spoil food in large quantities. It is used in wine making, airtight stored grain (preventing Aspergillus flavus aflatoxins), apples, and grapevines. Pichia anomala has been reclassified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus.

The Tubariaceae is a family of basidiomycete fungi described by Alfredo Vizzini in 2008.

Leratiomyces erythrocephalus, commonly known as the red pouch fungus, is a species of fungus in the family Strophariaceae. First described scientifically as Secotium erythrocephalum by Louis René Tulasne in 1845 and later transferred to Weraroa by American mycologists Rolf Singer and Alexander H. Smith in 1958, it was given its current name in 2008. It is found in New Zealand.

Xylographa soralifera is a species of bark-dwelling, crustose lichen in the family Xylographaceae. It was described in 2008 and belongs to the X. vitiligo complex, but differs from that species in both morphology and chemistry, including its production of fumarprotocetraric acid.

Wickerhamomyces is a genus of fungi within the Phaffomycetales order. It is placed within the family of Phaffomycetaceae.
