[Taxacom] Top 50 most wanted fungi

[Henrik Nilsson]

Dear colleagues,

In this new paper (http://mycokeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7553) in MycoKeys we present a set of automatically updated lists of the most abundant fungal species hypotheses known from sequence data (typically from environmental substrates such as soil and wood), but for which little to no taxonomic information is available.

If anyone can shed any light on the taxonomic affiliation of these species hypotheses, we’d be all ears.

It is frustrating, in the year 2016, not to be able to assign a fungal sequence (recovered multiple times independently) even at the phylum level.

Yours sincerely,

Henrik Nilsson
University of Gothenburg
