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. …

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... -

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...
