Fungal taxonomy is a fundamental discipline that aims to recognise all fungi and their
kinships. Approximately 5% of a practical estimate of 2.2–3.8 million species globally are …

Mycological research, especially research on fungal evolution and ecology, requires a
robust and detailed fungal classification and phylogeny to facilitate efficient and informative …

Species concepts have long provided a source of debate among biologists. These lively
debates have been important for reaching consensus on how to communicate across …

The series Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa (including fossil fungi) commenced with its
first publication in 2020, has garnered over 450 citations to date, and is proving to be a very …

Fungi are ubiquitous inhabitants of soil and aquatic environments, and they establish and
maintain either parasitic or symbiotic relationships with animals and plants. They are major …

Fungi are more important to our lives than is assumed by the general public. They can
comprise both devastating pathogens and plant-associated mutualists in nature, and several …

Fungi have successfully established themselves across seemingly every possible niche,

Fungi play many roles in different ecosystems. The precise identification of fungi is important
in different aspects. Historically, they were identified based on morphological characteristics …

The fungal kingdom is estimated to comprise between 2.2 to 3.8 million species with only
about 7% named and classified. Novel biochemical, physiological and molecular techniques …

Fungal ecology lags behind in the use of traits (ie phenotypic characteristics) to understand
ecological phenomena. We argue that this is a missed opportunity and that the selection and …
