A without-prejudice list of generic names for fungi is presented here as a basis for future discussion and the production of a List for formal adoption, providing mycologists with an opportunity to place nomenclature at the generic level on a more secure and stable base.

It is indicated that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi, and 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.
MycoBank: an online initiative to launch mycology into the 21st century
- P. Crous, W. Gams, J. Stalpers, V. Robert, G. Stegehuis
- Biology
- 2004
An on-line database, MycoBank, is launched with a remit to document mycological nomenclatural novelties and their associated descriptions and illustrations, where they will further be linked to other databases to realise a species bank that eventually links all databases of life.
The Colletotrichum acutatum species complex

- 22 August 2012
Multilocus molecular phylogenetic analysis of 331 strains previously identified as C. acutatum and other related taxa, including strains from numerous hosts with wide geographic distributions, confirmed the molecular groups previously recognised and identified a series of novel taxa.
Phylogenetic lineages in the Botryosphaeriaceae

- BiologyStudies in Mycology
- 6 March 2006
DNA sequence data of the 28S rDNA is employed to resolve apparent lineages within the Botryosphaeriaceae and 10 lineages are recognised, including an unresolved clade including species of Camarosporium/Microdiplodia.
The Botryosphaeriaceae: genera and species known from culture

- 30 September 2013
It seems likely that all of the older taxa linked to the Botryosphaeriaceae, and for which cultures or DNA sequence data are not available, cannot belinked to the species in this family that are known from culture, and will have to be disregarded for future use unless they are epitypified.
Diaporthe: a genus of endophytic, saprobic and plant pathogenic fungi
- R. R. Gomes, C. Glienke, S. Videira, L. Lombard, J. Groenewald, P. Crous

Several taxa of Diaporthe are confirmed to have wide host ranges, suggesting that they move freely among hosts, frequently co-colonising diseased or dead tissue.
Large-scale generation and analysis of filamentous fungal DNA barcodes boosts coverage for kingdom fungi and reveals thresholds for fungal species and higher taxon delimitation

Colletotrichum species with curved conidia from herbaceous hosts
- U. Damm, J. Woudenberg, P. Cannon, P. Crous
- Biology
- 2009
A multilocus molecular phylogenetic analysis of 97 isolates of C. Dematium and other Colletotrichum species with curved conidia from herbaceous hosts resulted in 20 clades, with 12 clades containing strains that had previously been identified as C. dematium.
