A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with
reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members …

Ninety years after Zahlbruckner, we present the most recent update to the classification of
lichen fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota to genus level, with species numbers and …

Lichens are prominent examples of symbiotic organisms, combining fungi and algae and/or
cyanobacteria in an intimate biological union. This volume provides an up-to-date account of …

The Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized Fungi, and one of the most species-
rich classes in the kingdom. Here we provide a multigene phylogenetic synthesis (using …

Following discussions of the definition of the terms 'lichen'and 'thallus', the role of
lichenization in the evolution of asco-and basidiomycetes, and divergence and convergence …

Part One presents the current classification that includes all accepted genera and higher
taxa above the generic level in the phylum Ascomycota. It is based on the changes listed in …

Five loci, nucSSU, nucLSU rDNA, TEF1, RPB1 and RPB2, are used for analysing 129
pleosporalean taxa representing 59 genera and 15 families in the current classification of …

The Lecanoromycetes includes most of the lichen-forming fungal species (> 13 500) and is
therefore one of the most diverse class of all Fungi in terms of phenotypic complexity. We …

Dating of fungal divergences with molecular clocks thus far has yielded highly inconsistent
results. The origin of fungi was estimated at between 660 million and up to 2.15 billion y ago …

The class Eurotiomycetes (Ascomycota, Pezizomycotina) is a monophyletic group
comprising two major clades of very different ascomycetous fungi:(i) the subclass …
