Fungal pathogens cause more than a billion human infections every year, resulting in more
than 1.6 million deaths annually. Understanding the natural history and evolutionary ecology …

Advancements in chemical, medical, cosmetic, and plastic producing industries have
improved agricultural yields, health and human life in general. As a negative consequence …

This paper provides an updated classification of the Kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi)
and fungus-like taxa. Five-hundred and twenty-three (535) notes are provided for newly …

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in
environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Ecosystems provide multiple services to humans. However, agricultural systems are usually
evaluated on their productivity and economic performance, and a systematic and …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated using several different approaches. There is
somewhere between 2–11 million estimated species, but the number of formally described …

This article is the 13th contribution in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein 125 taxa
from four phyla, ten classes, 31 orders, 69 families, 92 genera and three genera incertae …

In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …
