Fungi named in 2022

The Auriculariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species within the family were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. Around 100 species are known worldwide. All are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood. Fruit bodies of several Auricularia species are cultivated for food on a commercial scale, especially in China.

Thaxterogaster occidentalis, commonly known as the western purple-staining webcap, The gills are adnexed to notched. is a species of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae.

Lecaimmeria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecideaceae. Established in 2022, it comprises 13 species of lichens that grow on rock surfaces (saxicolous) and form a thin, crust-like covering (crustose) on their substrate. These lichens are characterised by their glossy, orange to red-brown outer layer (thallus) and sunken fruiting bodies (apothecia) with red-brown centres. Lecaimmeria species are typically found in harsh environments at high altitudes or latitudes, particularly in mountainous regions of western China and across parts of Eurasia. The genus was created to

Gilbertaria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Sphaerophoraceae, comprising four species of crustose lichens found primarily in arctic and alpine environments. The genus is characterised by its thin, crust-like growth on rocks and dead plant material, black button-like reproductive structures (apothecia), and frequent association with blue-green algae of the genus Stigonema. Molecular studies published in 2022 revealed that several previously misunderstood species, formerly classified in different genera, formed a distinct evolutionary lineage. The genus is unique within its

Mystinarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.

Immersaria venusta is a species of rock-dwelling, crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is a rusty brown lichen with flat black fruiting bodies, found at alpine elevations of about 3,900–4,300 m in western China. The species was described in 2022 and is distinguished from related species by the shape and colour of its surface patches and its smaller ascospores.

Immersaria ferruginea is a species of crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is a greyish-brown, rock-dwelling lichen with densely crowded, black fruiting bodies, found at alpine elevations of about 3,800–4,300 m in western China. The species was described in 2022 and is named for the rusty-brown tones of its thallus.

Immersaria aurantia is a species of crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is an orange, rock-dwelling lichen found at alpine elevations above 3,900 m in western China, including Tibet, Qinghai, and Sichuan. The species was described in 2022 and is distinguished by its bright orange surface patches and a predominantly green upper tissue layer in the fruiting bodies.

Hygronarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.

Cystinarius is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.

Aspicilia humida is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Megasporaceae. As a member of the Aspicilia cinerea species group, it is most closely related to that lichen as well as A. dudinensis, A. laevata, and A. indissimilis. Found in South Korea, it was formally described as a new species in 2022 by Beeyoung Gun Lee. The type specimen was collected in a forest wetland in Hoenggye-ri (Daegwallyeong-myeon, Gangwon Province) at an altitude of 1,047 m (3,435 ft); here it was found growing on siliceous rock. The lichen is only known to occur at the type
