TL;DR: It is indicated that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi, and the enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree.

TL;DR: The taxonomy of Dermatocarpon in North America was recently thrown into flux because of a molecular study which limited the use of a once widely applied name, D. miniatum as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The distribution of Pyxine subcinerea in the eastern United States was established by Stirton as mentioned in this paper, and the morphological and chemical differences between P. sub cinerea, P. albovirens, and P. caesiopruinosa were recognized, clarified, and expanded upon.

TL;DR: Tylopilus alkalixanthus is described from the Cordillera Talamanca of Costa Rica and Japan, where it is known only from Costa Rican and Japan.

TL;DR: This species is characterized by a lower cortex which bears a tomentum of moniliform hyphae which is closely related to D. moulinsii and D. schaechtelinii, but differs from both in bearing delicate, linear hy PHs on the lower surface of the thallus, and not rhizinomorphs.
