Taxa named by Pier Andrea Saccardo

Septoria is a genus of fungal plant pathogens in the phylum Ascomycota. They cause necrotic leaf spots on the leaves of their hosts, producing filiform or cylindrical conidia inside pycnidia embedded in the leaves. Economically important species cause diseases on field crops, forages, and vegetables. The genus is widespread, and estimated to contain 1072 species.

genus of fungi

Phoma is a genus of common coelomycetous soil fungi. It contains many plant pathogenic species.

Phomopsis is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Diaporthaceae. It was previously in the Valsaceae family.

Bisporella is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae.

The Lophiostomataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa have a widespread distribution, especially in temperate regions, and are saprobic or necrotrophic on herbaceous and woody stems.

The Sphaeropsis are a genus of fungi, within the family Botryosphaeriaceae, the order Botryosphaeriales, and the class Dothideomycetes. They are plant pathogens.

Gibellula is a genus of parasitic fungi which attacks arachnids.

Capronia is a genus of fungi in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. It has about 80 species.

Cercosporella is a fungus genus in the family Mycosphaerellaceae.

Massarina is a genus of fungi in the Massarinaceae family. Anamorph forms of species in Massarina include Acrocalymma, Ceratophoma, and Tetraploa. Massarina was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1883. The widespread genus contains about 100 species.

Pirottaea is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae. The genus contained 26 species in 2009. It went up to about 48 species later.

Trichosphaerella is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Niessliaceae.

Atractiella is a genus of fungi in the family Hoehnelomycetaceae. The widespread genus contains seven species. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are minute and stilboid (pin-shaped) Microscopically they produce auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that the genus is monophyletic (a natural grouping).

Roussoëlla is a genus of fungi in the family Roussoellaceae. The genus is characterized by two-celled ascospores, unitunicate asci with a small spherical apical ring that stains slightly blue with Melzer's reagent, and stromata with several perithecia. The genus was circumscribed by Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1888, with Roussoella nitidula assigned as the type species. The generic name honours Marietta Hannon Rousseau, (1850–1926), who was a Belgian mycologist and taxonomist.

Paranectria is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. It consisted of three species in 2008, in 2023 it had 8 species.

Thuemenella is a genus of fungi in the family Hypoxylaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1898 by Albert Julius Otto Penzig and Pier Andrea Saccardo.
