Lophodermium is a genus of fungi within the family Rhytismataceae. The genus contains 145 species and has a global distribution. Species of this genus are usually observed producing zone lines, conidiomata and ascomata on dead fallen leaves, but at least some are known to colonize living leaves. In many cases they then live inside the colonized leaf as a symptomless endobiont, where they are regarded as detritivores utilising dead plant matter. In a few cases they may kill all or part of the leaf prematurely, and there is a substantial literature dealing with those species as plant pathogens.

thumb|Cyttaria sp. - MHNT Cyttaria (From Greek Kyttaros, meaning "cell of a honeycomb") is a genus of ascomycete fungi. About 10 species belong to Cyttaria, found in South America, Australia and New Zealand, which are obligatory parasites of southern beech trees from the genus Nothofagus. The "llao llao" fungus Cyttaria hariotii, one of the most common fungi in Andean-Patagonian forests, has been shown to harbor the yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus, which may be source of the lager yeast S. pastorianus cold-tolerance.

Microglossum is a genus of fungi in the family Leotiaceae. Ascocarps (fruit bodies) occur in soil and resemble earth tongues, but are microscopically distinct. Microglossum atropurpureum, a species typical of waxcap grassland in Europe, is of global conservation concern and is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Cystotheca is a genus of plant pathogenic fungi in the family Erysiphaceae (powdery mildews). Members of the genus are found on Calophyllum, Castanea, Castanopsis, Murraya and Quercus species in Asia and North America.

Cyclaneusma is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Marthamycetaceae.

Dactylaria is a genus of fungi belonging to an unknown family. According to Wijayawardene et al. 2020; the genus was placed in order Helotiales genera incertae sedis.

Llimoniella is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. Species in the genus grow on other lichens as commensals, apparently without harming their hosts. They produce small, black, disc-like fruiting bodies that sit directly on the host lichen's surface.

Helicogonium is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum.

Dwayaangam is a genus of fungi in the family Orbiliaceae consisting of 8 species.

Claussenomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. Species grow as saprophytes on decaying and decorticated wood, cones, or sap. Fruitbodies are turbinate (having the shape of an inverted cone) to pulvinate (shaped like a cushion), measuring up to 0.6 mm in both height and diameter. The flesh has an elastic to gelatinous texture.

Karstenia is a genus of fungi in the family Stictidaceae. These small fungi typically grow on wood and bark, producing tiny fruiting bodies that remain partially buried in their host material and appear as small pustules with pale pink or greyish-white centres. Unlike many related fungi, species of Karstenia do not form lichens, though they may occasionally grow near green algae.
