Can we use environmental DNA as holotypes?
The advantages and disadvantages of giving a valid name to a sequence of DNA detected
from environmental specimens is presently a hot debate amongst the mycological …

Current insights into fungal species diversity and perspective on naming the environmental DNA sequences of fungi
The global bio-diversity of fungi has been extensively investigated and their species number
has been estimated. Notably, the development of molecular phylogeny has revealed an …

Ten reasons why a sequence-based nomenclature is not useful for fungi anytime soon
The large number of species still to be discovered in fungi, together with an exponentially
growing number of environmental sequences that cannot be linked to known taxa, has …

[HTML][HTML] How, not if, is the question mycologists should be asking about DNA-based typification
Abstract Fungal metabarcoding of substrates such as soil, wood, and water is uncovering
an unprecedented number of fungal species that do not seem to produce tangible …

Taxonomic reliability of DNA sequences in public sequence databases: a fungal perspective
Background DNA sequences are increasingly seen as one of the primary information
sources for species identification in many organism groups. Such approaches, popularly …

Sequence-based nomenclature: a reply to Thines et al. and Zamora et al. and provisions for an amended proposal “from the floor” to allow DNA sequences as types …
We reply to two recently published, multi-authored opinion papers by opponents of
sequence-based nomenclature, namely Zamora et al.(IMA Fungus 9: 167–175, 2018) and …
