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 …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Novel species of fungi described in the present study include the following from South Africa:

Africa is a diverse continent composed of many different terrestrial biomes, from the largest
nonpolar desert in the world to equatorial forests and Southern African Fynbos. Biodiversity …

Phylogenetic relationships in the genus Helvella were investigated using both LSU rDNA
sequences and morphological features. The latter were coded and included in the analyses …

Cistaceae are shrubs, subshrubs and herbs that often occur in stressful, fire-prone or
disturbed environments and form ectomycorrhizal (ECM) associations with symbiotic fungi …

Species limits in the small genus Geopyxis are debatable because of problems with
