Societal Impact Statement Research and publication of the planet's remaining plant and
fungal species as yet unknown to science is essential if we are to address the United …

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 …

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil
fungi. ie dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

The global bio-diversity of fungi has been extensively investigated and their species number
has been estimated. Notably, the development of molecular phylogeny has revealed an …

Fungi in the class Leotiomycetes are ecologically diverse, including mycorrhizas,
endophytes of roots and leaves, plant pathogens, aquatic and aero-aquatic hyphomycetes …

Despite decades of intensive research (especially from 1970s to 1990s), the ericoid
mycorrhizal (ErM) hair root is still largely terra incognita and this simplified guide is intended …

The species is one of the basic units of biological classification. Both species concepts and
recognition are essential topics in taxonomic studies and other biological research. In the …

Here we review how evolving species concepts have been applied to understand yeast
diversity. Initially, a phenotypic species concept was utilized taking into consideration …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has been
established (and is generally accepted) as a primary “universal” genetic barcode for fungi for …
