As a result, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) has become a powerful and widely used tool to recognise and delimit independent evolutionary lineages (IEL) in fungi. However, MLSA can mask discordances in individual gene trees and lead to misinterpretation of speciation events. This phenomenon has been extensively documented in &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt;, and species identifications in this genus remains an ongoing challenge. However, the accurate delimitation of &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; species is critical as the genus encompasses several cosmopolitan pathogens that cause serious diseases on many economically important plant hosts. In this regard, following a survey of palm leaf spotting fungi in Lisbon, Portugal, &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; species occurring on &lt;i&gt;Arecaceae&lt;/i&gt; hosts were used as a case study to implement an integrative taxonomic approach for a reliable species identification in the genus. Molecular analyses based on the genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR) and DNA-based species delimitation methods revealed that speciation events in the genus have been highly overestimated. Most IEL identified by the GCPSR were also recognised by Poisson tree processes (PTP) coalescent-based methods, which indicated that phylogenetic lineages in &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; are likely influenced by incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and reticulation events. Furthermore, the recognition of genetic recombination signals and the evaluation of genetic variability based on sequence polymorphisms reinforced these hypotheses. New clues towards the intraspecific variation in the common loci used for phylogenetic inference of &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; species are discussed. These results demonstrate that intraspecific variability has often been used as an indicator to introduce new species in &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt;, which has led to a proliferation of species names in the genus. Based on these data, 53 species are reduced to synonymy with 18 existing &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; species, and a new species, &lt;i&gt;D. pygmaeae&lt;/i&gt;, is introduced. Thirteen new plant host-fungus associations are reported, all of which represent new host family records for &lt;i&gt;Arecaceae&lt;/i&gt;. This study has recognised and resolved a total of 14 valid &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; species associated with &lt;i&gt;Arecaceae&lt;/i&gt; hosts worldwide, some of which are associated with disease symptoms. This illustrates the need for more systematic research to examine the complex of &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt; taxa associated with palms and determine their potential pathogenicity. By implementing a more rational framework for future studies on species delimitation in &lt;i&gt;Diaporthe&lt;/i&gt;, this study provides a solid foundation to stabilise the taxonomy of species in the genus.

Numerous changes have recently occurred in the nomenclature of cordycipitaceous fungi due to the single naming system proposed for pleomorphic fungi in 2011. Species of &lt;i&gt;Cordycipitaceae&lt;/i&gt; are widely applied as herbal medicines, especially in Asian cultures. However, the diversity of &lt;i&gt;Cordycipitaceae&lt;/i&gt; in Taiwan is based on relatively few literature records. Here we conducted a comprehensive survey of this family throughout the island of Taiwan and provided a glimpse of the diversity and distribution patterns. In addition, the present study reassesses the generic and species boundaries of &lt;i&gt;Cordycipitaceae&lt;/i&gt; and finally provides an updated phylogenetic overview of &lt;i&gt;Cordyceps&lt;/i&gt; and allied genera. Phylogenetic reconstructions using combined ITS, nrLSU, &lt;i&gt;tef1-α&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;rpb1&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;rpb2&lt;/i&gt; sequence data, along with morphological features, resulted in 10 novel species: &lt;i&gt;Akanthomyces taiwanicus sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Blackwellomyces taiwanensis sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Cordyceps hehuanensis sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;locastrae sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;malleiformis sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;pseudorosea sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;siangyangensis sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Samsoniella lasiocampidarum sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;S&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;yuanzuiensis sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Simplicillium salviniae sp. nov.&lt;/i&gt;; and nine new records for Taiwan: &lt;i&gt;A&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;kanyawimiae&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;A&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;muscarius&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;S&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;cardinalis&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;S&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;hepiali&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;lii&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;B&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;medogensis&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;lepidopterorum&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;neopruinosa&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Si&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;chinense&lt;/i&gt;.

The present study includes 399 isolates from 32 countries. These isolates were subjected to DNA sequence analysis for five genomic loci (ITS, &lt;i&gt;act1&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;rpb2&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;tef1-α&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;).

Very few studies have dealt with family and genus classification using molecular data and many groups are in need of thorough revision. Thus, we constructed a multilocus phylogeny (mtSSU, &lt;i&gt;RPB2&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;mcm7&lt;/i&gt; gene regions) including 190 specimens of &lt;i&gt;Lichinomycetes&lt;/i&gt; belonging to 126 species. Ancestral state reconstruction analyses were carried out to trace the evolution of selected characters. The current classification scheme of the &lt;i&gt;Lichinomycetes&lt;/i&gt; based on morphological and anatomical characters is in great conflict with the phylogenetic relationships resulting from the present study. The results suggest substantial non-monophyly at the family and genus levels. A revised classification is proposed here and an overview of genera accepted in the &lt;i&gt;Lichinomycetes&lt;/i&gt; is given. Ancestral &lt;i&gt;Lichinomycetes&lt;/i&gt; are reconstructed as crustose with pycnoascocarps and octosporous asci.

Many varieties were documented by Wollenweber & Reinking (1935), which is indicative of a wider diversity of species within this group. The lack of type material in some cases, especially for the older names, means that definition by molecular phylogeny is very difficult. In the present study, we examined 179 strains related to &lt;i&gt;F. lateritium&lt;/i&gt; from different countries and substrates. Historic reference material, including representative strains from the Wollenweber & Reinking (1935) varieties were included in this study, DNA sequences were generated for comparison, and the morphology correlated with original descriptions to enable the correct application of older names. Strains were characterized by multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on fragments of the β-tubulin (&lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;), calmodulin (&lt;i&gt;CaM&lt;/i&gt;), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (&lt;i&gt;rpb2&lt;/i&gt;), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (&lt;i&gt;tef1&lt;/i&gt;) genes, evaluation of morphological characters and host-substrate preferences.

The taxonomy of &lt;i&gt;Sporocadaceae&lt;/i&gt; has recently been revised using a polyphasic approach. However, much remains unknown about the diversity of species and their host associations. A collection of 488 strains, mostly from China and associated with 129 host plant species, was studied based on morphological comparisons and multi-locus (LSU, ITS, &lt;i&gt;tef-1α&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;rpb2&lt;/i&gt;) phylogenies. Our results revealed that they belonged to 86 species, one new genus (&lt;i&gt;Cavernicola gen. nov&lt;/i&gt;.) and seven known genera, including &lt;i&gt;Discosia&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Monochaetia&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Neopestalotiopsis&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Pestalotiopsis, Seimatosporium&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Seiridium&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Sporocadus&lt;/i&gt;.

In addition, &lt;i&gt;Neo. vaccinii&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Pes. kaki&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Pes. nanjingensis&lt;/i&gt; are synonymised under &lt;i&gt;Neo. hispanica&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Pes. menhaiensis&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Pes. sichuanensis&lt;/i&gt;, respectively. We also corrected seven problematic sequences of type materials of previously published species, namely &lt;i&gt;Neo&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;iranensis&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;tef-1α&lt;/i&gt;, ITS, &lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;), &lt;i&gt;Pes&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;jesteri&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;tef-1α&lt;/i&gt;), &lt;i&gt;Pes&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;photinicola&lt;/i&gt; (ITS, &lt;i&gt;tub2&lt;/i&gt;) and &lt;i&gt;Pes&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;yunnanensis&lt;/i&gt; (ITS).

Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they represent a major component of biodiversity on our planet, and play essential ecological roles, supporting life as we know it. Although approximately 20 000 fungal genera are presently recognised, the ecology of most remains undetermined. Despite all this diversity, the mycological community actively researches some fungal genera more commonly than others. This poses an interesting question: why have some fungal genera impacted mycology and related fields more than others? To address this issue, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to identify the top 100 most cited fungal genera. A thorough database search of the Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed was performed to establish which genera are most cited. The most cited 10 genera are &lt;i&gt;Saccharomyces&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Candida&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Aspergillus&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Fusarium&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Penicillium&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Trichoderma&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Botrytis&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Pichia&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Cryptococcus&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Alternaria&lt;/i&gt;.

Based on a multigene phylogeny of nine nuclear and four mitochondrial gene regions they were assigned to five of the six known subclades, 2a-c, e and f, of &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt; major Clade 2 and the new subclade 2g. The evolutionary history of the Clade appears to have involved the pre-Gondwanan divergence of three extant subclades, 2c, 2e and 2f, all having disjunct natural distributions on separate continents and comprising species with a soilborne and aquatic lifestyle and, in addition, a few partially aerial species in Clade 2c; and the post-Gondwanan evolution of subclades 2a and 2g in Southeast/East Asia and 2b in South America, respectively, from their common ancestor. Species in Clade 2g are soilborne whereas Clade 2b comprises both soil-inhabiting and aerial species. Clade 2a has evolved further towards an aerial lifestyle comprising only species which are predominantly or partially airborne. Based on high nuclear heterozygosity levels &lt;i&gt;ca&lt;/i&gt;. 38 % of the taxa in Clades 2a and 2b could be some form of hybrid, and the hybridity may be favoured by an A1/A2 breeding system and an aerial life style. Circumstantial evidence suggests the now 93 described species and informally designated taxa in Clade 2 result from both allopatric non-adaptive and sympatric adaptive radiations. They represent most morphological and physiological characters, breeding systems, lifestyles and forms of host specialism found across the &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt; clades as a whole, demonstrating the strong biological cohesiveness of the genus. The finding of 43 previously unknown species from a single &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt; clade highlight a critical lack of information on the scale of the unknown pathogen threats to forests and natural ecosystems, underlining the risk of basing plant biosecurity protocols mainly on lists of named organisms. More surveys in natural ecosystems of yet unsurveyed regions in Africa, Asia, Central and South America are needed to unveil the full diversity of the clade and the factors driving diversity, speciation and adaptation in &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Taxonomic novelties: New species:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Phytophthora amamensis&lt;/i&gt; T.
