The numbers of fungi: are the most speciose genera truly diverse?
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 …

Mission impossible completed: unlocking the nomenclature of the largest and most complicated subgenus of Cortinarius, Telamonia
So far approximately 144,000 species of fungi have been named but sequences of the
majority of them do not exist in the public databases. Therefore, the quality and coverage of …
