Journal ArticleDOI
The UNITE Database for Molecular Identification and for Communicating Fungal Species
TL;DR: The ambition of UNITE is to develop: 1) datasets and tools for robust and reproducible molecular identification; 2) Persistent Identifiers based system for the communicating fungal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies in African thelephoroid fungi: 1. Tomentella capitata and Tomentella brunneocystidia , two new species from Benin (West Africa) with capitate cystidia
TL;DR: Tomentella capitata and T. brunneocystidia are presented as new species based on molecular data and anatomical features and are similar in shape, size, ornamentation of basidiospores, and size and colour of subicular hyphae.
Book ChapterDOI
Biogeography and Specificity of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi of Coccoloba uvifera
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that distinct ectomycorrhizal associations of sea grape are primarily driven by stressful environmental conditions in maritime sand dunes, and may have received multiple EcM symbionts from host switching events due to a common habitat in maritimeSand dunes or more widely shared historical habitat in North America and the Caribbean Islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomentella brunneoincrustata, the first described species of the Pisonieae-associated Neotropical Tomentella clade, and phylogenetic analysis of the genus in Mexico
Julieta Alvarez-Manjarrez,Margarita Villegas-Ríos,Roberto Garibay-Orijel,Magdalena Contreras-Pacheco,Urmas Kõljalg +4 more
TL;DR: A new species is described, Tomentella brunneoincrustata, including its basidiocarp morphology, mycorrhizal anatomy, and ecology, which develops in tropical dry forests, where it associates with hosts in the Pisonieae tribe within the Nyctaginaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydnellum gracilipes: a link between stipitate and resupinate Hymenomycetes
Urmas Kõljalg,Pertti Renvall +1 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic interpretation of the sequence data from the 5' end of nuclear large subunit (nucLSU) rDNA showed, however, that the closest relatives of H. gracilipes are found in the genus Hydnellum P. Karst.
