The numbers of fungi: contributions from traditional taxonomic studies and challenges of metabarcoding

Chayanard Phukhamsakda et al.

Summary: In this study, the diversity of fungi and the trends in species descriptions are examined based on 12 ascomycete genera. New species are introduced in each genus to emphasize the importance of traditional morpho-molecular methods. The relationship between the divergence times of these genera with those of their hosts is discussed, and the possibility of more species in these genera is hypothesized. The study also suggests hosts and habitats that should be investigated for novel species discovery.

Evolution of freshwater Diaporthomycetidae (Sordariomycetes) provides evidence for five new orders and six new families

Kevin D. Hyde et al.

Summary: The study identified the genus Cancellidium as belonging to Diaporthomycetidae, a subclass of Sordariomycetes that is exclusively found in freshwater. Several new taxa, including Aquapteridosporaceae, Cancellidiaceae, Bullimycetaceae, and Pseudostanjehughesiaceae, were introduced, all of which are known to be unique to freshwater environments.

Two novel species and two new records of Distoseptispora from freshwater habitats in China and Thailand

Hong-Wei Shen et al.

Summary: Four Distoseptispora taxa were collected from China and Thailand during investigations into freshwater fungi from the Great Mekong Subregion. Two new species were introduced based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, while two known species were reported for the first time in freshwater habitat. Illustrations and descriptions of these taxa were provided, along with comparisons with extant taxa in the genus.

What are fungal species and how to delineate them?

K. W. Thilini Chethana et al.

Summary: Defining and recognizing fungal species has long been a controversial issue, with over 30 species criteria proposed since Darwin's origin of species. Phylogenetic analyses based on multiple loci are widely used, but can mask discordances among fungal groups. In order to delimit fungal species, phylogenetic and phenotypic coherence, as well as the timing of events leading to speciation, need to be considered.

Integrative approaches for species delimitation in Ascomycota

Sajeewa S. N. Maharachchikumbura et al.

Summary: Disturbances caused by human activities result in biodiversity loss and call for more effective ways to discover and delimit species. The paper reviews the main approaches used to delimit species in the phylum Ascomycota, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each species concept. The advancement in phylogenetic methods has increased the rate of species discovery, but challenges such as gene tree heterogeneity still hinder species delimitation in low-rank phylogenies.
