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.

TL;DR: The UNITE database, an open-access database dedicated to the reliable identification of ECM fungi, comprises well annotated fungal ITS sequences from well defined herbarium specimens that include full her barium reference identification data, collector/source and ecological data.

TL;DR: This study provides a first broad systematic treatment of the euagarics as they have recently emerged in phylogenetic systematics and recognizes eight major groups of homobasidiomycetes that cut across traditional lines of classification, in agreement with other recent phylogenetic studies.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships of resupinate Homobasidiomycetes (Corticiaceae s. lat. and others) were studied using ribosomal DNA sequences from a broad sample of res upinate and nonresupinate taxa to support monophyly of the eight major clades of Homob as well as independent lineages corresponding to the Gloeophyllum clade, corticioid clade and Jaapia argillacea.
