species of plant

Suillus is a genus of basidiomycete fungi in the family Suillaceae and order Boletales.

species of fungus

Albatrellus is a genus of 19 species of mushroom-producing fungi in the family Albatrellaceae. Species are common in northern temperate forests, producing medium to large fleshy fruit bodies of various colors.

Auriscalpium is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi typifying the family Auriscalpiaceae.

Cerrena is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Samuel Frederick Gray in 1821. Gray's type species, Cerrena cinerea, is now known as C. unicolor.

Steccherinum is a widely distributed genus of toothed crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.

genus of fungi

Alyxoria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecanographaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. These lichens are often so inconspicuous that they appear as little more than faint cracks or weathered patches on tree bark and rock surfaces, making them easily overlooked in the field. The genus includes about 20 species that reproduce through distinctive elongated slits containing spores, and can also spread asexually through tiny flask-shaped structures that release microscopic propagules.
