Fungus genera

Helminthosporium is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Massarinaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Allomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Blastocladiaceae. It was circumscribed by British mycologist Edwin John Butler in 1911. Species in the genus have a polycentric thallus and reproduce sexually or asexually by zoospores that have a whiplash-like flagella. They are mostly isolated from soils in tropical countries, commonly in ponds, rice fields, and slow-moving rivers.

Anaeromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Neocallimastigaceae.

Blastocladia is a genus of aquatic fungi.

Basidiobolus is a fungus genus. It was circumscribed by the mycologist in 1886, with Basidiobolus ranarum assigned as the type species.

Neocallimastix is a genus of obligately anaerobic rumen fungi in the family Neocallimastigaceae. A specialised group of chytrids grow in the rumen of herbivorous animals, where they degrade cellulose and thus play a primary role in the complex microbial ecology of the rumen.

Caecomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Neocallimastigaceae.

Coelomomyces is the only genus of fungi in the family Coelomomycetaceae. Species in the genus can be used as agents for the biological control of mosquitoes.

Entrophospora is a genus of fungi in the family Acaulosporaceae of the Glomeromycota. The name is derived from the Greek words en (within), trophos (nourished or reared), and spora (spore). The generic description was emended in 2011.

Conidiobolus is a genus of fungi in the order Entomophthorales. Some species were initially defined in Conidiobolus but then moved into other genera such as Capillidium and Batkoa.

Orpinomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Neocallimastigaceae.

Amoebophilus is a genus of zygomycete fungi that parasitizes amoeba.

Acaulopage is a genus in the former Zygomycota that preys on amoeba.

Piromyces is a genus of fungi in the family Neocallimastigaceae.

genus of fungi

Funneliformis is a genus of fungi in the family Glomeraceae. All species are arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that form symbiotic relationships (mycorrhizaa) with plant roots. The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by Arthur Schüßler and Christopher Walker, with Funneliformis mosseae (named after the biologist Barbara Mosse and originally described in 1968 as a species of Endogone) as the type species. The generic name refers to the funnel-shaped spore base present in several species.

Syzygites is a monotypic genus in Zygomycota. The sole described species is Syzygites megalocarpus, which was the first fungus for which sex was reported and the main homothallic representative in the research that allowed for the classification of fungi as homothallic or heterothallic. It is also the fungus from which the term "zygospore" was coined.

Blastocladiella is a genus of fungus.

Pseudosperma is a genus of mushrooms in the family Inocybaceae. It is widely distributed, being found in both temperate and tropical regions.

Neozygites is a genus of fungi in the family Neozygitaceae, which is in the order Entomophthorales. Commonly used as a pest controller for mites, aphids, and thrips, the genus was described in 1885 by E. Witlaczil.

Batkoa is a genus of fungi within the family of Entomophthoraceae and order Entomophthorales of the Zygomycota. This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).

The Pacisporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Diversisporales. The family contains the single genus Pacispora. Species in this genus are widespread in distribution, and form arbuscular mycorrhiza and vesicles in roots.
