Dacrymycetaceae
The Dacrymycetaceae are a family of fungi in the order Dacrymycetales. Species are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. Their distribution is worldwide. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous to gelatinous, often yellow to orange, and variously clavarioid, disc-shaped, cushion-shaped, spathulate, or corticioid (effused). Genera in the Dacrymycetaceae have traditionally been differentiated on basidiocarp morphology, in later years following the monographs of New Zealand mycologist Robert McNabb. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that morphology is not a good indicator of natural relationships. To date, only the recently described genus '' Dendrodacrys'' is monophyletic. The remaining genera await further research.

''Dacrymyces'' is a genus of fungi in the family Dacrymycetaceae. Species are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. Their distribution is worldwide. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous to gelatinous, often yellow to orange, and typically disc-shaped to cushion-shaped.

Dacryopinax
''Dacryopinax'' is a genus of fungi in the family Dacrymycetaceae. The genus is widespread, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 15 species. ''Dacryopinax'' was circumscribed by American mycologist George Willard Martin in 1948. A taxonomic monograph was published by McNabb (1965). ''Dacryopinax'' species are common wood inhabiting fungi worldwide, mostly producing brown rot wood decay. Genomic analysis of ''Dacryopinax primogenitus'' revealed the loss of genes for class II peroxidases necessary for lignin degradation, supporting observations of a brown rot physiology. Species The genus consists of the following species: * '' Dacryopinax aurantiaca'' * '' Dacryopinax crenata'' * '' Dacryopinax dennisii'' * ''Dacryopinax elegans'' * '' Dacryopinax felloi'' * '' Dacryopinax fissus'' * '' Dacryopinax foliacea'' * '' Dacryopinax formosus'' * '' Dacryopinax imazekiana'' * '' Dacryopinax indacocheae'' * '' Dacryopinax lowyi'' * '' Dacryopinax macrospora'' * '' Dacryop ...

Calocera Cornea
''Calocera cornea'' is a jelly fungus that grows on decaying wood. It is a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia. Its yellow, finger-like, tapering basidiocarps are somewhat gelatinous in texture. In typical specimens the basidiocarps become up to 3 mm in diameter, and 2 cm in height. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. It is inedible.

Dacryopinax Spathularia
''Dacryopinax spathularia'' is a species of fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous, frequently spathulate (spoon-shaped), and grow on wood, mainly in the tropics and subtropics. The fungus is edible and is commercially cultivated for use as an additive in the food industry. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Merulius spathularius'' by German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz based on a collection from North Carolina in the United States. It was moved to the newly created genus ''Dacryopinax'' by American mycologist G.W. Martin in 1948 in recognition of its fruit bodies' frequently spathulate shape. Microscopically, however, the species is not typical of the genus and this has been confirmed by recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences. ''Dacryopinax spathularia'' is not closely related to the type species (''Dacryopinax elegans'') and belongs elsewhere. It has been placed in a widely d ...

Dacrymyces Chrysospermus
''Dacrymyces chrysospermus'' is a species of jelly fungus in the family (biology), family Dacrymycetaceae. In the UK it has the recommended English name of orange jelly spot; in North America it is known as orange jelly or orange witch's butter. The species is saprotrophic and grows on dead coniferous wood. Basidiocarps are gelatinous, bright orange, and extremely variable in shape, but typically stoutly stipe (mycology), stipitate with a spoon- or cup-shaped, spore-bearing head. They are frequently erumpent in groups, often coalescing to form complex masses up to across. ''Dacrymyces chrysospermus'' was originally described from New England, but is said to have a worldwide distribution. Microscopically it is distinguished from most other species of ''Dacrymyces'' by its comparatively large (18–23 by 6.5–8 micrometre, µm), 7-septum, septate basidiospores.

Calocera Viscosa
''Calocera viscosa'', commonly known as the yellow stagshorn, is a jelly fungus, a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia. It has bright orange, yellow or occasionally white branching basidiocarps, which are somewhat gelatinous in texture and slimy to the touch (hence the specific name). It is relatively large for a jelly fungus, and can reach up to ten centimetres in height. It is widespread and common, and its bright colour makes it stand out in its habitat. It grows on decaying conifer wood, typically stumps and roots, although this may not be obvious if the wood is covered in leaf litter. It fruits throughout the year, but is most commonly seen in autumn. It is not poisonous, but its tough gelatinous texture and nondescript taste and odour make it unattractive as a food. However, its striking colour has led to it being used as a garnish on occasion.http://www.mushroomdiary.co.uk/2011/10/yellow-stagshorn-fungus/ ...

Dacrymycetales
The Dacrymycetes are a class of fungi in the Basidiomycota. The class currently contains the single order Dacrymycetales, with a second proposed order Unilacrymales now treated at the family level. The order contains four families and has a cosmopolitan distribution. All fungi in the Dacrymycetes are wood-rotting saprotrophs. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous to gelatinous, typically yellow to orange as a result of carotenoid pigments, and variously corticioid (effused and patch-forming), disc- or cushion-shaped, spathulate, or clavarioid (club or coral-like). Microscopically, nearly all species have distinctive Y-shaped holobasidia. Species were formerly placed in the Heterobasidiomycetes Heterobasidiomycetes, including jelly fungi, smuts and rusts, are basidiomycetes with Septum, septate Basidium, basidia. This contrasts them to homobasidiomycetes (alternatively called holobasidiomycetes), including most mushrooms and other Agari ... and are informally included in ...

Calocera
''Calocera'' is a fungal genus in the Dacrymycetes order. It is widely distributed and contains 15 species. Etymology ''Calocera'' is derived from the Greek words ''kalós'', "beautiful", and ''kéras'', "horn". In English it is called stagshorn, which also describes its similarity with the horn of an animal.http://www.mushroomdiary.co.uk/2011/10/yellow-stagshorn-fungus/ Mushroom Diary, retrieved 20 January 2021 Species *'' Calocera australis'' *'' Calocera bambusicola'' *'' Calocera clavata'' *''Calocera cornea'' *'' Calocera furcata'' *'' Calocera fusca'' *'' Calocera glossoides'' *'' Calocera guepinioides'' *'' Calocera lutea'' *'' Calocera pallidospathulata'' *'' Calocera sinensis'' *''Calocera viscosa ''Calocera viscosa'', commonly known as the yellow stagshorn, is a jelly fungus, a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia.
