Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Ninety years after Zahlbruckner, we present the most recent update to the classification of
lichen fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota to genus level, with species numbers and …

Classification is the most important approach to cataloging biological diversity. It serves as a
principal means of communication between scientific disciplines, as well as between …

For over 140 years, lichens have been regarded as a symbiosis between a single fungus,
usually an ascomycete, and a photosynthesizing partner. Other fungi have long been known …

The Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized Fungi, and one of the most species-
rich classes in the kingdom. Here we provide a multigene phylogenetic synthesis (using …

The phylum Ascomycota is by far the largest group in the fungal kingdom. Ecologically
important mutualistic associations such as mycorrhizae and lichens have evolved in this …

Lichens are used in traditional medicine by cultures across the world, particularly in
temperate and arctic regions. Knowledge of these medicinal uses is available to us because …

We studied the evolutionary history of the Parmeliaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota),
one of the largest families of lichen‐forming fungi with complex and variable morphologies …

As the continuation of Fungal Diversity Notes series, the current paper is the 16th
contribution to this series. A total of 103 taxa from seven classes in Ascomycota and …

Although classification at supra-specific ranks is inherently arbitrary, comparable taxonomic
ranks within clades can facilitate more consistent classifications and objective comparisons …
