Improving phylogenetic inference of mushrooms with RPB1 and RPB2 nucleotide sequences (Inocybe; Agaricales)P Brandon Matheny
Biology Department, Box 351330, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 5325, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 35:1-20. 2005..These results also suggest the family Crepiodataceae sensu stricto is sister to Inocybe. Recognition of Inocybe at the family level, the Inocybaceae, is recommended...
Contributions of rpb2 and tef1 to the phylogeny of mushrooms and allies (Basidiomycota, Fungi)P Brandon Matheny
Biology Department, Clark University, 950 Main St, Worcester, MA 01610, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 43:430-51. 2007..Strong support is also recovered for the basal position of the Dacrymycetales in the Hymenomycetidae and paraphyly of the Exobasidiomycetidae...
Taxonomy of displaced species of TubariaP Brandon Matheny
Clark University, Biology Department, 950 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, USA
Mycologia 99:569-85. 2007..Four new combinations are proposed, and one new species, T. bispora, is described as new from Costa Rica and Martinique. A lectotype is designated for Pholiota serrulata...
Major clades of Agaricales: a multilocus phylogenetic overviewP Brandon Matheny
Biology Department, Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, USA
Mycologia 98:982-95. 2006..A family-based phylogenetic classification is sketched for the Agaricales, in which 30 families, four unplaced tribes and two informally named clades are recognized...
The relative ages of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms and their plant hosts estimated using Bayesian relaxed molecular clock analysesDavid S Hibbett
Biology Department, Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, USA
BMC Biol 7:13. 2009..As we were primarily interested in the relative ages of the plants and fungi, we did not attempt to calibrate the molecular clock using the very limited fossil record of Agaricomycetes...
Amylocorticiales ord. nov. and Jaapiales ord. nov.: early diverging clades of agaricomycetidae dominated by corticioid formsManfred Binder
Clark University, Biology Department, Lasry Center for Biosciences, 15 Maywood Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01601, USA
Mycologia 102:865-80. 2010..The Jaapiales is supported as the sister group of the remainder of the Agaricomycetidae, suggesting that the greatest radiation of pileate-stipitate mushrooms resulted from the elaboration of resupinate ancestors...
A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the FungiDavid S Hibbett
Biology Department, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA
Mycol Res 111:509-47. 2007..Several genera of 'basal' Fungi of uncertain position are not placed in any higher taxa, including Basidiobolus, Caulochytrium, Olpidium, and Rozella...
New species of Inocybe from Dicymbe forests of GuyanaP Brandon Matheny
Botany Department, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
Mycol Res 107:495-505. 2003..The new species are I. ayangannae, I. epidendron, I. lilacinosquamosa and I. pulchella. A dichotomous key, morphological descriptions, illustrations, taxonomic commentary, and a discussion of Inocybe in the tropics, are provided...
An overview of the higher level classification of Pucciniomycotina based on combined analyses of nuclear large and small subunit rDNA sequencesM Catherine Aime
USDA ARS, Systematic Botany and Mycology Lab, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, USA
Mycologia 98:896-905. 2006....
Phylogenetic relationships of Auriculoscypha based on ultrastructural and molecular studiesT K Arun Kumar
Department of Plant Biology, University of Minnesota, 1445 Gortner Avenue, St Paul, MN 55108 1095, USA
Mycol Res 111:268-74. 2007..The placement of Auriculoscypha in the Platygloeales can no longer be justified and both ultrastructural and molecular evidence strongly support the placement of Auriculoscypha in the Septobasidiales...
The mushroom family Psathyrellaceae: evidence for large-scale polyphyly of the genus PsathyrellaMahajabeen Padamsee
Department of Plant Biology, University of Minnesota, 250 Biological Sciences Center, 1445 Gortner Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55108, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 46:415-29. 2008..These results were interpreted in light of the two major taxonomic treatments of Psathyrella and revealed substantial inconsistencies between the molecular- and morphology-derived inferences of relationships...
Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogenyTimothy Y James
Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338, USA
Nature 443:818-22. 2006..The enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree...
The cantharelloid clade: dealing with incongruent gene trees and phylogenetic reconstruction methodsJean Marc Moncalvo
Department of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum, University of Toronto, Canada
Mycologia 98:937-48. 2006..Our attempt to reconstruct a "supertree" from tree topologies resulting from separate analyses that avoided phylogenetic reconstruction problems associated with missing data and/or unalignable sequences proved unsuccessful...
