Lichens are one of the most iconic and ubiquitous symbioses known, widely valued as
indicators of environmental quality and, more recently, climate change. Our understanding of …

The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in
species numbers to the Ascomycota. The present work provides an overview of all validly …

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 …

This paper is a compilation of notes on 142 fungal taxa, including five new families, 20 new
genera, and 100 new species, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range. The …

Cyanolichens are obligate symbioses between fungi and cyanobacteria. In these
associations the cyanobacterial symbiont can either be the sole photosynthetic partner or a …

Abstract Agaricomycetes includes ca. 21,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi
that function as decayers, pathogens, and mutualists in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

The number of Fungi is estimated at between 1.5 and 3 million. Lichenized species are
thought to make up a comparatively small portion of this figure, with unrecognized species …

Molecular phylogenies using 1–4 gene regions and information on ecology, morphology
and pigment chemistry were used in a partial revision of the agaric family Hygro-phoraceae …

Following a large-scale phylogenetic study of the lichenized genus Cora (Basidiomycota:
Agaricales: Hygrophoraceae), we formally describe 70 new species, honouring the …
