A conceptual framework for nomenclatural stability and validity of medically important fungi: a proposed global consensus guideline for fungal name changes supported by ABP, ASM, CLSI, ECMM, ESCMID-EFISG, EUCAST-AFST, FDLC, IDSA, ISHAM, MMSA, and MSGERC.
The rapid pace of name changes of medically important fungi is creating challenges for clinical laboratories and clinicians involved in patient care. We describe two sources of name change which have different drivers, at the species versus the genus level. Some suggestions are made here to reduce the number of...de Hoog, Sybren ; Walsh, Thomas J. ; Ahmed, Sarah A. ; Alastruey-Izquierdo, Ana ; Alexander, Barbara D. …

Fungal Drug Discovery for Chronic Disease: History, New Discoveries and New Approaches.
Fungal-derived drugs include some of the most important medicines ever discovered, and have proved pivotal in treating chronic diseases. Not only have they saved millions of lives, but they have in some cases changed perceptions of what is medically possible. However, now the low-hanging fruit have been discovered it has...Prescott, Thomas A. K. ; Hill, Rowena ; Mas-Claret, Eduard ; Gaya, Ester ; Burns, Edie

Fungal names: a comprehensive nomenclatural repository and knowledge base for fungal taxonomy.
Fungal taxonomy is a complex and rapidly changing subject, which makes proper naming of fungi challenging for taxonomists. A registration platform with a standardized and information-integrated database is a powerful tool for efficient research on fungal taxonomy. Fungal Names (FN, https://nmdc.cn/fungalnames/; launched in 2011) is one of the three official...Wang, Fang ; Wang, Ke ; Cai, Lei ; Zhao, Mingjun ; Kirk, Paul M. …

What Do the First 597 Global Fungal Red List Assessments Tell Us about the Threat Status of Fungi?
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants and are thus also prone to extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on the IUCN Red List. Recent efforts to identify fungal species under threat have significantly increased the number of published fungal assessments. The 597...Mueller, Gregory M. ; Cunha, Kelmer Martins ; May, Tom W. ; Allen, Jessica L. ; Westrip, James R. S. …

Scaling up discovery of hidden diversity in fungi: impacts of barcoding approaches.
The fungal kingdom is a hyperdiverse group of multicellular eukaryotes with profound impacts on human society and ecosystem function. The challenge of documenting and describing fungal diversity is exacerbated by their typically cryptic nature, their ability to produce seemingly unrelated morphologies from a single individual and their similarity in appearance...Diversity, Barcoding, Fungi, Internal transcribed spacer, Taxonomy, and Metabarcoding

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 …
