Default Favorite ground cover for shade

What about Lily of the Valley? It's not a creeper like a vinca, but it
grows/spreads like mad and smells so wonderful when it's in bloom. Small
green plants with small white flowers then little red berry things :-)
Poisonous if eaten, but nobody said you have to eat them.

I live in Ohio and have several shaded areas where I would like to put
in ground cover and I just wanted to make sure I've thought of them all.
So far I have English Ivy and Periwinkle. The ivy is great, and the
periwinkle is beautiful, but it is very prone to fungus from moisture -
and the shade doesn't help dry up that!

So what are your suggestions?
