Article Synopsis
  • Two proposals have been put forward to allow DNA sequences to be used as types for naming certain fungi, which could fundamentally alter the definition of nomenclatural types and lead to various issues in scientific reproducibility and nomenclatural instability.
  • The authors argue against these proposals, suggesting that they would not effectively address the challenges of naming taxa based solely on DNA and propose instead that formulas for naming candidate taxa could be a better solution without changing existing nomenclature rules.

We constructed a comprehensive phylogeny of the genus Genea, with new molecular data from samples collected in several countries in temperate and Mediterranean Europe, as well as North America. Type specimens and authentic material of most species were examined to support identifications. The molecular identity of the most common species in Genea was compared with nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), D1-D2 domains of 28S nuc rDNA (28S rDNA) and translation elongation factor 1-α ene (TEF1) profiles of 10 recently proposed taxa, G.
