Bryophacis smetanai
Bryophacis smetanai is a small rove beetle (Staphylinidae: Mycetoporinae) described by Campbell in 1993 as part of a comprehensive taxonomic revision of North American Bryophacis. It belongs to the tribe Bolitobiini, a group of mycophagous staphylinids associated with fungal substrates. The species was established based on morphological examination of specimens from across northern North America.
Gyrophaena vitrina

The species has been recorded from eastern North America, with scattered observations across Canada and the United States. Like other Gyrophaena species, it is likely associated with fungal habitats, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Triplax wehrlei
pleasing fungus beetle
Triplax wehrlei is a species of pleasing fungus beetle in the family Erotylidae, described by Boyle in 1954. It belongs to a genus of small beetles associated with fungal habitats. The species is documented from Central America and North America, though specific ecological details remain poorly recorded in the available literature.
