Journal ArticleDOI

Megaphylogeny resolves global patterns of mushroom evolution

Torda Varga, +64 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic tree of 5,284 fungal species is used to infer ages and broad patterns of speciation/extinction, diversification and morphological innovation in mushroom-forming fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polypores and genus concepts in Phanerochaetaceae (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

TL;DR: Whether DNA-phylogeny-based and morphology-based genus concepts can be reconciled in the basidiomycete family Phanerochaetaceae is explored and results show that macromorphology of fruiting bodies and hymenophore construction do not reflect monophyletic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Considerations and consequences of allowing DNA sequence data as types of fungal taxa

Juan Carlos Zamora, +411 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way.
Journal ArticleDOI

What is Antrodia sensu stricto

TL;DR: The polypore genus Antrodia (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) in the strict sense consists of a small number of species grouped around the type species A. serpens, and nuclear rDNA ITS and tef1 data show that it includes four species: A. heteromorpha sensu stricto, A. favescens and A. Serpens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notes on the Genus Aporpium (Auriculariales, Basidiomycota), with a New Species from Temperate Europe

TL;DR: A new polypore, Aporpium macroporum Niemelä, Spirin & Miettinen, is described on the basis of material from Finland, Poland, European Russia, Belarus, Estonia, and Latvia, which grows primarily on fallen aspen trees and prefers old forests with abundant coarse woody debris.
