Pushing the Frontiers of Biodiversity Research: Unveiling the Global Diversity, Distribution, and Conservation of Fungi.
Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and their conservation neglected. We aim to flip this situation by synthesizing current knowledge. We present a revised estimate of 2–3 million fungal species...Niskanen, Tuula ; Lücking, Robert ; Dahlberg, Anders ; Gaya, Ester ; Suz, Laura M. …

Fungal diversity notes 1151–1276: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa.
Fungal diversity notes is one of the important journal series of fungal taxonomy that provide detailed descriptions and illustrations of new fungal taxa, as well as providing new information of fungal taxa worldwide. This article is the 11th contribution to the fungal diversity notes series, in which 126 taxa distributed... -

Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi.
Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for , the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 used as the animal barcode was excluded as a potential marker, because it is difficult to amplify in...Schoch, Conrad L. ; Seifert, Keith A. ; Huhndorf, Sabine ; Robert, Vincent ; Spouge, John L. …

Cortinarius ochrolamellatus (Agaricales, Basidiomycota): a new species in C. sect. Laeti, with comments on the origin of its European-Hyrcanian distribution.
Geographic distributions of mushroom-forming fungi usually remain elusive because of the scarcity of occurrence data. However, the increasing number of environmental and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) root tip DNA sequences deposited in public repositories provides a unique opportunity to expand our knowledge about fungal geographic distributions, even at the intercontinental scale. Here,... -

Mission impossible completed: unlocking the nomenclature of the largest and most complicated subgenus of Cortinarius, Telamonia.
So far approximately 144,000 species of fungi have been named but sequences of the majority of them do not exist in the public databases. Therefore, the quality and coverage of public barcode databases is a bottleneck that hinders the study of fungi. is the largest genus of Agaricales with thousands...Liimatainen, Kare ; Niskanen, Tuula ; Dima, Bálint ; Ammirati, Joseph F. ; Kirk, Paul M. …

Taming the beast: a revised classification of Cortinariaceae based on genomic data.
Family currently includes only one genus, , which is the largest genus, with thousands of species worldwide. The species are important ectomycorrhizal fungi and form associations with many vascular plant genera from tropicals to arctic regions. Genus contains a lot of morphological variation, and its complexity has led many taxonomists...Liimatainen, Kare ; Kim, Jan T. ; Pokorny, Lisa ; Kirk, Paul M. ; Dentinger, Bryn …

Loose Ends in the Cortinarius Phylogeny: Five New Myxotelamonoid Species Indicate a High Diversity of These Ectomycorrhizal Fungi with South American Nothofagaceae.
This paper is a contribution to the current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of South American Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray. Cortinarius is among the most widely distributed and species-rich basidiomycete genera occurring with South American Nothofagaceae and species are found in many distinct habitats, including shrublands and forests. Due to... -

Gloeocantharellus andasibensis sp. nov. (Gomphaceae) from Madagascar.
Gloeocantharellus andasibensis sp. nov. is recognized by orange-red basidiomata with a convex to plane, innately fibrillose and viscid pileus, ellipsoid to amygdaliform, small, verrucose basidiospores, and a distinct nrITS sequence. This is the first record of the genus from Madagascar. To improve the understanding of the nomenclature of the genus,... -

Cortinarius section Thaumasti in South American Nothofagaceae forests
We studied the South American species of Cortinarius section Thaumasti based on morphological and molecular data. Members of this group can easily be identified in the field because the basidiomata are small and Phlegmacium-like with a bulbous stipe and the universal veil in most species forms a distinct volva at... -

Megaphylogeny resolves global patterns of mushroom evolution
Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) have the greatest morphological diversity and complexity of any group of fungi. They have radiated into most niches and fulfil diverse roles in the ecosystem, including wood decomposers, pathogens or mycorrhizal mutualists. Despite the importance of mushroom-forming fungi, large-scale patterns of their evolutionary history are poorly known,...Varga, Torda ; Krizsán, Krisztina ; Földi, Csenge ; Dima, Bálint ; Sánchez-García, Marisol …
