Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a unified paradigm for sequence-based identification of fungi

TL;DR: All fungal species represented by at least two ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are now given a unique, stable name of the accession number type, and the term ‘species hypothesis’ (SH) is introduced for the taxa discovered in clustering on different similarity thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI

A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi

David S. Hibbett, +66 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members of the fungal taxonomic community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny

Timothy Y. James, +75 more
- 19 Oct 2006 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal Diversity Revisited: 2.2 to 3.8 Million Species

TL;DR: New evidence is examined from various sources to derive an updated estimate of global fungal diversity, concluding that the commonly cited estimate of 1.5 million species is conservative and that the actual range is properly estimated at 2.2 to 3.8 million.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits

TL;DR: This study provides a phylogenetic synthesis for the Fungi and a framework for future phylogenetic studies on fungi and the impact of this newly discovered phylogenetic structure on supraordinal classifications is discussed.
