The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence
of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

Taxonomic names are key links between various databases that store information on
different organisms. Several global fungal nomenclural and taxonomic databases (notably …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

• Premise of the study: Fungi are major decomposers in certain ecosystems and essential
associates of many organisms. They provide enzymes and drugs and serve as experimental …

Abstract Index Fungorum, Species Fungorum and MycoBank are the key fungal

Background During the last 15 years the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear DNA
has been used as a target for analyzing fungal diversity in environmental samples, and has …

Cold environments represent the majority of the biosphere on Earth and have been
successfully colonized by psychrophilic microorganisms that are able to thrive at low …

Filamentous fungi are critical to the decomposition of terrestrial organic matter and,
consequently, in the global carbon cycle. In particular, their contribution to degradation of …
