genus of fungi
Clathrogaster
Clathrogaster is a genus of fungi in the Hysterangiaceae family. Circumscribed by Lionello Petri in 1900, The genus contains two species found in Borneo.
Heteroradulum
Heteroradulum is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species produce effused, leathery basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood, often pinkish red and partly or wholly covered in small sterile spines. The genus was originally published in 1917 by American mycologist Curtis Gates Lloyd under the facetious pseudonym "McGinty", rendering the name invalid. It was validated a century later to accommodate a group of species formerly placed in the genera Eichleriella or Heterochaete, but not closely related to either.
Burgoa
Burgoa is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Cantharellaceae.
Itajahya
Itajahya is a fungal genus in the family Phallaceae. The genus, widespread in tropical and subtropical areas, contains three species. Characters in this genus include a white calyptra (tissue which covers the top of the fruit body to which the gleba is attached), and lamellate plates covered with gleba. The gleba has a white mottled surface, and the cap appears wig-like when removed of the gleba. The thick, stout stalk has many chambered walls. The species Itajahya rosea, formerly classified in the genus Phallus, was transferred to Itajahya in 2012 when molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed
Aporpium
Aporpium is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are formed on dead wood and have a poroid hymenium. Species were often formerly referred to the genera Elmerina or Protomerulius, but molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that Aporpium is a distinct, mainly north temperate genus.
Hallingea
Hallingea is a genus of fungi in the family Gallaceaceae. It contains three species found in South America.
Destuntzia
Destuntzia is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Claustulaceae. The genus contains three species found in North America. It is named after late American mycologist Daniel Elliot Stuntz.
Gallacea
Gallacea is a genus of fungi in the Gallaceaceae family. The genus contains six species found in Australia and New Zealand. Gallacea was circumscribed by American mycologist Curtis Gates Lloyd in 1905.
Ramaricium
Ramaricium is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphaceae. The genus contains three species that collectively have a widespread distribution.
Austrogautieria
Austrogautieria is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Gallaceaceae. Segregated from the genus Gautieria in 1986, the genus contains six species found in Australia.
Cyclomyces
Cyclomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It has been suggested that the genus be merged with Hymenochaete.
Alutaceodontia
Alutaceodontia is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Schizoporaceae.
Pyrrhoderma
Pyrrhoderma is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae.
Anthurus
Anthurus is a genus of fungi in the family Phallaceae.
Lepidostroma
Lepidostroma is a genus in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales). The genus is distinguished from all other lichenized clavarioid fungi (Multiclavula (Cantharellales), Ertzia (Lepidostromatales), and Sulzbacheromyces (Lepidostromatales)) by having a distinctly thallus (similar to a 'Coriscium-type' thallus) with scattered to dense rounded to squamules. Four species are known from the tropics of Africa and the Americas.
Contumyces
Contumyces is a genus of brightly colored possibly bryophilous or graminicolous agarics in the Hymenochaetales. They have an omphalinoid morphology, and therefore were previously classified in Omphalina. They inhabit mossy or grassy silty or sandy soils in the Northern Hemisphere. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera Rickenella, Gyroflexus, Loreleia, Cantharellopsis and Blasiphalia, as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera Muscinupta and Cotylidia and clavarioid genus, Alloclavaria. Contumyces is most similar to Rickenella and Blasiphalia and differs by having its cystidia on the
Mesophellia
Mesophellia is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the Mesophelliaceae family. The genus contains about 15 species that are found in Australia. Mesophellia was circumscribed by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1857.
Campylomyces
Campylomyces is a genus of wood-rotting fungi in the family Gloeophyllaceae. The genus, circumscribed by Karen K. Nakasone in 2004 to contain two species formerly assigned to Veluticeps, is characterized by producing small, thin, cup-shaped fruit bodies that grow in groups.
