A new genus and species of foliicolous lichen in a new family of Strigulales (Ascomycota: Dothideomycetes) reveals remarkable class-level homoplasy
Phylogenetic analysis of some foliicolous lichens collected in Hainan Province, China, revealed a new lineage morphologically similar to Porina but phylogenetically related to Strigulaceae (Dothideomycetes), differing from the latter in ascus type. The monospecific genus Tenuitholiascus gen. nov. is introduced for the single species, T. porinoides sp. nov., which is...Jiang, Shu Hua ; Hawksworth, David L. ; Lücking, Robert ; Wei, Jiang Chun

Unambiguous identification of fungi: where do we stand and how accurate and precise is fungal DNA barcoding?
True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (e.g. Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 million predicted species. Compared to plants and animals, fungi have simple body plans with often morphologically and ecologically obscure structures. This poses challenges for accurate and... -

Setting scientific names at all taxonomic ranks in italics facilitates their quick recognition in scientific papers
It is common practice in scientific journals to print genus and species names in italics. This is not only historical as species names were traditionally derived from Greek or Latin. Importantly, it also facilitates the rapid recognition of genus and species names when skimming through manuscripts. However, names above the...Thines, Marco ; Aoki, Takayuki ; Crous, Pedro W. ; Hyde, Kevin D. ; Lücking, Robert …

Heterocyphelium leucampyx ( Arthoniales, Ascomycota): another orphaned mazaediate lichen finds its way home.
is a mazaediate genus containing a single species, . The species was originally described from Cuba within the genus ( , ) and later placed in various genera of the collective order s. lat. For the past three decades, was considered an orphaned genus ( ) within the Ascomycota, since...Van den Broeck, Dries ; Lücking, Robert ; Gaya, Ester ; Chaves, José Luis ; Lejju, Julius B. …

Species in lichen-forming fungi: balancing between conceptual and practical considerations, and between phenotype and phylogenomics.
Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi (primary and secondary mycobionts), algae and/or cyanobacteria (primary and secondary photobionts), and specific elements of the bacterial microbiome associated with the lichen thallus. The question of what is a species, both concerning the lichen as a whole and its main fungal... -

How to publish a new fungal species, or name, version 3.0.
It is now a decade since (ICTF) produced an overview of requirements and best practices for describing a new fungal species. In the meantime the (ICNafp) has changed from its former name (the ) and introduced new formal requirements for valid publication of species scientific names, including the separation of... -

Gone with the wind: sequencing its type species supports inclusion of Cryptolechia in Gyalecta (Ostropales: Gyalectaceae)
AbstractCryptolechia carneolutea is the type species of the genus Cryptolechia, a rare taxon classified as endangered in the UK, now largely confined to ancient Fraxinus trees. The only tree with abundant growth of the species in one of its strongholds, the Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve in Devon, was blown...Lücking, Robert ; Moncada, Bibiana ; Hawksworth, David
