Taxa named by Royall T. Moore

A fungus (: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes yeast and mold as well as the mushroom. These organisms are classified in the biological kingdom Fungi.

The Basidiomycota () are one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Members are known as basidiomycetes. This division includes: agarics, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and Cryptococcus, the human pathogenic yeast.

genus of fungi

The Platygloeales are an order of fungi in the class Pucciniomycetes. Species in the order have auricularioid basidia (tubular with lateral septa) and are typically plant parasites on mosses, ferns, and angiosperms, though Platygloea species appear to be saprotrophic.

The Sporidiobolales are an order of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. The order contains a single family, the Sporidiobolaceae, which currently contains three genera. Most species are known only from their yeast states. Hyphal states produce teliospores from which auricularioid (tubular and laterally septate) basidia emerge, bearing basidiospores. Species occur worldwide and have been isolated (as yeasts) from a wide variety of substrates. Two species, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and R. glutinis, have been known to cause disease in humans.

Cerinosterus is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the order Dacrymycetales. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Cerinosterus luteoalbus. The species and genus was formally described in 1987. Cerinosterus is similar in morphology to Sporothrix; common features include hyphal septa with dolipores and imperforate parenthesomes.
