neg: Mycena adscendens Mycena adscendens, commonly known as the frosty bonnet, is a species of fungus in the family Mycenaceae. The fungus produces small white fruit bodies (mushrooms) with caps up to 7.5 mm in diameter that appear to be dusted with sugar-like granules. Caps are supported by thin, hollow stems up to 20 mm long, which are set on a disc-like base. It is distributed in the United States, where it has been found from Washington to California, Europe, and Turkey. The fruit bodies grow on fallen twigs and other woody debris on the forest floor, including fallen hazel nuts. The variety "carpophila" is known from Japan. There are several small white "Mycena" species that are similar in appearance to "M. adscendens", some of which can be reliably distinguished only by examining microscopic characteristics.

neg: Crucibulum Crucibulum is a genus in the Nidulariaceae, a family of fungi whose fruiting bodies resemble tiny egg-filled bird's nests. Often called "splash cups", the fruiting bodies are adapted for spore dispersal by using the kinetic energy of falling drops of rain. The "eggs" inside the bird's nests (technically known as peridioles) are hard waxy shells containing spores, and tend to stick to whatever nearby herbage they land on, thus increasing the odds of being consumed and dispersed by herbivorous animals. Members of this genus are saprobic, obtaining nutrients from dead organic matter, and are typically found growing on decayed wood and wood debris. The three known "Crucibulum" species ("C. laeve", "C. parvulum", and "C. cyathiforme") are distinguished from other genera of the Nidulariaceae by their relatively simple funiculus – a cord of hyphae that connects the peridiole (the "eggs") to the exterior of the bird's nest.

neg: Phloeomana Phloeomana is a bark-inhabiting agaric fungal genus that produces fuscous-colored to whitish mycenoid to omphalinoid fruit bodies in temperate forests. In addition to the type species "Phloeomana speirea", 4 other species, "P. alba", "P. clavata" (= "M. thujina", "M. phaeophylla"), "P. hiemalis" and "P. minutula" (formerly "Mycena olida"), have been placed in the genus. The genus is characterized by nonamyloid smooth, hyaline (translucent) basidiospores and tissues, poorly to moderately differentiated cheilocystidia, diverticulate pileipellis hyphae and general smooth stipe hyphae with scattered caulocystidia. It is one of several mushroom genera formerly classified most recently in "Mycena", "Omphalina", "Hydropus", or "Marasmiellus". Phylogenetically, "Phloeomana" is distant from the Mycenaceae and is closest to a clade or group that includes other former members of "Mycena" now in "Atheniella" and "Hemimycena" clearly excluded from the Mycenaceae and tentatively classified in the Porotheleaceae.

neg: Clathrus ruber Clathrus ruber is a species of fungus in the stinkhorn family, and the type species of the genus "Clathrus". It is commonly known as the latticed stinkhorn, the basket stinkhorn, or the red cage, alluding to the striking fruit bodies that are shaped somewhat like a round or oval hollow sphere with interlaced or latticed branches. The fungus is saprobic, feeding off decaying woody plant material, and is often found alone or in groups in leaf litter on garden soil, grassy places, or on woodchip garden mulches. Although considered primarily a European species, "C. ruber" has been introduced to other areas, and now has a wide distribution that includes northern Africa, Asia, Australia, and North and South America. The species was illustrated in the scientific literature during the 16th century, but was not officially described until 1729.

neg: Heterodea Heterodea is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae.

neg: Closterotomus norwegicus Closterotomus norvegicus (also known as the potato capsid) is a species of bugs belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. It can be found feeding on nettle, clover, and cannabis, as well as Compositae, potatoes, carrots and chrysanthemums. They prefer to feed on the flowers, buds and unripe fruit. The species occurs in Great Britain and continental Europe. In 1997 it was moved from the "Calocoris" genus to its current name.

neg: Xerocomellus Xerocomellus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus, as it was described in 2008, contained 12 species. However "X. rubellus" and "X. engelii" were transferred to the new genus "Hortiboletus" and "X. armeniacus" was transferred to the new genus "Rheubarbariboletus" in 2015. Molecular analysis supports the distinction of "Xerocomellus" species from "Boletus" and "Xerocomus", within which these species were formerly contained. "Xerocomellus" in fact is only distantly related to "Xerocomus" and is most closely related to "Tylopilus", "Boletus" sensu stricto, "Porphyrellus", "Strobilomyces", and "Xanthoconium".

neg: Climacodon septentrionalis Climacodon septentrionalis is a species of polypore fungus in the Meruliaceae family. It is a plant pathogen. Originally named "Hydnum septentrionale" by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, it was transferred to the genus "Climacodon" by Petter Karsten in 1881.

neg: Climacodon pulcherrimus Climacodon pulcherrimus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was first described as a species of "Hydnum" by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1849. T.L. Nikolajeva transferred it to its current genus "Climacodon" in 1962, but research published in 2007 suggests it should be placed in a different genus. It is widely distributed in subtropical and tropical areas, where it grows on decomposing hardwoods, causing a white rot.

neg: Dracophyllum Dracophyllum is a genus of plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, formerly Epacridaceae. There are some one hundred or so species in the genus, mostly shrubs but also cushion plants and trees, found in New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia. The name, "Dracophyllum" or dragon-leaf refers to their strong similarity to the unrelated "Dracaena", sometimes known as dragon tree. Although dicotyledonous, they resemble primitive monocots with their slender leaves concentrated in clumps at the ends of the branches; they are sometimes called grass-trees.
