One Fungus = One Name: DNA and fungal nomenclature twenty years after PCR by J.W. Taylor

“…Some fungi with pleomorphic life-cycles still bear two names despite more than 20 years of molecular phylogenetics that have shown how to merge the two systems of classification, the asexual “Deuteromycota” and the sexual “Eumycota”. Mycologists have begun to flout nomenclatorial regulations and use just one name for one fungus. …”

Four Novel Species and Two New Records of Boletes from India by Kanad Das, Aniket Ghosh, Dyutiparna Chakraborty, Sudeshna Datta, Ishika Bera, Ranjith Layola MR, Farheen Banu, Alfredo Vizzini, Komsit Wisitrassameewong

“…Repeated macrofungal explorations, followed by thorough examination of species through morphology and molecular phylogeny, have made it clear that European and American names of wild mushrooms were inadvertently misapplied quite often to Asian lookalikes by mycologists/taxonomists in the past. Therefore, in order to reveal this mushroom treasure, in recent years, taxonomical research on wild mushrooms has been intensified in Asian countries, including India, by undertaking a combined approach of morpho-taxonomy and multigene molecular phylogeny. …”

Onychomycosis caused by Scytalidium dimidiatum. Report of two cases. Review of the taxonomy of the synanamorph and anamorph forms of this coelomycete by Carlos da Silva LACAZ, Amélia Dias PEREIRA, Elisabeth Maria HEINS-VACCARI, Luiz Carlos CUCÉ, Cristiane BENATTI, Ricardo Spina NUNES, Natalina Takahashi de MELO, Roseli Santos de FREITAS-LEITE, Giovana Leticia HERNÁNDEZ-ARRIAGADA

“…The subject is reviewed from the taxonomic viewpoint, considering the anamorph Hendersonula toruloidea as a synonym of Nattrassia mangiferae, and having Scytalidium dimidiatum as the major synanamorph. According to many mycologists, Scytalidium hyalinum may be a separate species or a hyaline mutant of Scytalidium dimidiatum. …”
