Mycosphere 14(1), 1960–2012, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/14/1/23 Abstract The Global Consortium for the Classification of Fungi and fungus-like taxa is an international initiative of more than 550 mycologists to develop an electronic structure for the classification of these organisms. The members of the Consortium originate from 55 countries/regions worldwide, from a wide range of disciplines, and include senior, mid-career and early-career mycologists and plant pathologists. The Consortium will publish a biannual update of the Outline of Fungi and fungus- like taxa, to act as an international scheme for other scientists. Notes on all newly published taxa at or above the level of species will be prepared and published online on the Outline of Fungi website (https://www.outlineoffungi.org/), and these will be finally published in the biannual edition of the Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa. Comments on recent important taxonomic opinions on controversial topics will be included in the biannual outline. For example, ‘to promote a more stable taxonomy in Fusarium given the divergences over its generic delimitation’, or ‘are there too many genera in the Boletales?’ and even more importantly, ‘what should be done with the tremendously diverse ‘dark fungal taxa?’ There are undeniable differences in mycologists’ perceptions and opinions regarding species classification as well as the establishment of new species. Given the pluralistic nature of fungal taxonomy and its implications for species concepts and the nature of species, this consortium aims to provide a platform to better refine and stabilise fungal classification, taking into consideration views from different parties. In the future, a confidential voting system will be set up to gauge the opinions of all mycologists in the Consortium on important topics. The results of such surveys will be presented to the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF) and the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF) with opinions and percentages of votes for and against. Criticisms based on scientific evidence with regards to nomenclature, classifications, and taxonomic concepts will be welcomed, and any recommendations on specific taxonomic issues will also be encouraged; however, we will encourage professionally and ethically responsible criticisms 1974 of others’ work. This biannual ongoing project will provide an outlet for advances in various topics of fungal classification, nomenclature, and taxonomic concepts and lead to a community-agreed classification scheme for the fungi and fungus-like taxa. Interested parties should contact the lead author if they would like to be involved in future outlines. Keywords – classification – nomenclature – scientific criticism – taxonomy Introduction The series Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa (including fossil fungi) commenced with its first publication in 2020, has garnered over 450 citations to date, and is proving to be a very important publication in fungal classification. Since the inaugural outline by Wijayawardene et al. (2020a), we have strived to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the outline, and this resulted in an updated 2022 outline (Wijayawardene et al. 2022a) featuring contributions from 57 authors. Nevertheless, worldwide participation was not sufficient to overcome arguments that the outline was not representative of most mycologists. Therefore, in 2022, we launched the Global Consortium for the Classification of Fungi and fungus-like taxa and its associated webpage, outlineoffungi.org, and invited numerous interested parties from around the world to form an internationally representative consortium. In this paper, we have more than 550 members representing 55 countries with a range of disciplines, providing a balanced participation in the Global Consortium for the Classification of Fungi and fungus-like taxa. As the project progresses, we will publish the Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa biannually, with notes on new taxa at or above the level of species. Along with the updated classification scheme for fungi and fungus-like taxa, any notes, critiques, or remarks on controversial topics, especially those pertaining to taxonomy and the establishment of novel taxa, will also be included. Where possible, we will provide appropriate parties with opposing arguments or any clarifications on these topics. Given the dynamic nature of fungal taxonomy as a field of study, it undergoes frequent updates and revisions as new data is acquired from various disciplines such as biochemistry, ecology, evolution, genomics, genetics, morphology, metabolomics, transcriptomics, phylogenetics, physiology, and proteomics. These advancements contribute to the modification of classification and taxonomic concepts at different taxonomic hierarchy. Therefore, it is essential to publish an Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa biannually to stay up-to-date on the changes and provide a universal platform to discuss controversial topics. Values and numbers of fungi The estimation of fungal species ranges from 1 to 11 million, depending on the criteria employed by various researchers (Hyde et al. 2020a). Among these estimates, Hawksworth & Lücking (2017) have proposed a potentially more accurate range of 2.3 to 3.8 million species. In 2022, the journal Fungal Diversity published a special issue on the numbers of fungi with nine papers dealing with different taxonomic groups (e.g., Ascomycota, Basidiomycota – He et al. 2022a, Wijayawardene et al. 2022b, Yeasts – Boekhout et al. 2022). High-throughput sequencing approaches yielded the highest estimates (OTUs; Baldrian et al. 2022). In the editorial of that special issue, Hyde (2022) had planned to provide a more accurate estimate following these various reviews; however, in the end, this editorial was only able to propose prospective research needed to accomplish better estimates of total fungal numbers. While the discussion of fungal species numbers is still ongoing, the value of fungi is, however, indisputable with both beneficial and negative impacts. In terms of forest health, Niego et al. (2023a) showed how important and undervalued fungi are. They placed the value of fungi at USD 54.61 trillion annually and reported numerous benefits that fungi provide (e.g., food, industrial products, and novel drug discovery) (Niego et al. 2023b). Although any such appraisal has yet to be perfected, the data of Niego et al. (2023b) serves as an important baseline. The cumulative negative roles of fungi for humans, agriculture, and the environment have not been fully considered by Niego et al. (2023b). However, various studies show that human fungal infections are a global concern, causing ~1.7 million deaths annually. Growers worldwide experience losses of 10% to 23% of their crops 1975 due to fungal infections each year, with an additional 10-20% lost during post-harvest (Stukenbrock & Gurr 2023). Though having great monetary value despite difficulties in quantitatively estimating fungal populations, the framework of the Fungi and fungus-like taxa will give scientists a much- needed categorization model to work from. History of fungal classification The history of fungal classification systems dates back to the late 18th and the first third of the 19th century and connects with the writings of Persoon (1794, 1801, 1822–1828), Nees von Esenbeck (1817), Fries (1821–1832, 1825, 1835, 1836–1838, 1849), and Link (1833). Those systems were based on the external characters and morphology of the fruit-bodies, characters of hymenophore, and the place and mode of spore formation. By the mid-19th century, the knowledge pertaining to the classification and hierarchy of taxa in the field of mycology was not uniformly established and exhibited discrepancies between different authors. However, throughout this period, significant progress had been made in identifying and categorizing major fungal groupings, including hymenomycetes, discomycetes, pyrenomycetes, and gasteromycetes. The most important books of those times that made significant contributions to fungal classification include ‘Synopsis methodica fungorum’ (Persoon 1801), ‘Systema mycologicum’ with additional ‘Index’ and ‘Elenchus fungorum’ (Fries 1821–1832), not only because they were a base for subsequent fungal classifications and systems (e.g., Bonorden 1851, Gillet 1879–1887), as well as regional checklists (e.g., Berkeley 1860, Fuckel 1860, Crouan & Crouan 1867, Cooke 1871, Bernard 1882, Karsten 1871–1879, Quélet 1886, Phillips 1887), but also because of their influence on contemporary nomenclature of fungi. For a considerable period, they served as a starting point for fungal nomenclature up to the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018) and are now treated as sanctioning works (Turland et al. 2018). The next major step in fungal classification was a series of twenty-five volumes, the ‘Sylloge Fungorum’, led by P.A. Saccardo (1882-1931). Among these publications, the significance of Saccardo & Sydow’s work in 1899 lies in their use of distinct terminology regarding conidial fungi, i.e., deuteromycetes, along with other ranks for fungi and fungus-like taxa. Meanwhile, novel systematics based on minutious microscopical observations were proposed for hymenomycetes by Fayod (1889) and Patouillard (1900), and for discomycetes by Boudier (1907). Subsequent studies by Ainsworth (1966) and Moore (1971) introduced, respectively, Deuteromycotina and Deuteromycota to accommodate conidial fungi. Ainsworth (1966) made some of the most important compilations on the classification of fungi. The subsequent series Systema Ascomycetum (Eriksson 1982, Eriksson & Hawksworth 1998), which was conceived by Eriksson & Hawksworth (1998), can be considered as the foundation of compilations of fungal names, particularly when it comes to genera of Ascomycota. In addition to this series, several issues were published exclusively on the classification of ascomycetous taxa (i.e., Eriksson & Hawksworth 1998). Since 1997, Myconet has been published as hard copies and online (http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/myconet/printed.asp) (Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2007). Nonetheless, all these efforts have focused on sexually typified genera and their classification, i.e., prior to the use of DNA sequences for fungal taxonomy and classification based on phylogenetic reconstructions. Hyde et al. (2011) were the first to attempt to list all asexually typified genera in a natural classification. However, Kirk et al. (2008) (i.e., The Dictionary of Fungi) also provided higher-level classifications of asexually typified genera, but in their classification, they listed them alphabetically. Subsequent publications by Wijayawardene et al. (2012, 2017) provided the current classification of asexually typified genera, and Wijayawardene et al. (2021) compiled the classification of asexually typified genera with notes on pleomorphic genera. Since the paper of White et al. (1990), molecular biology techniques have widely been used in mycology, and thus, taxonomists have started to use DNA sequences in taxonomy and classification (Chethana et al. 2021). With these implementations, the dual nomenclature (e.g., Saccardo 1904) was abandoned and the ‘one fungus, one name’ concept for pleomorphic taxa was implemented (McNeill et al. 2011). Thus, maintaining separate classification systems for asexually typified genera was redundant, and all genera were incorporated into a natural classification. Wijayawardene et al. 1976 (2020a) compiled both sexually typified and asexually typified genera into one classification. At the same time, the authors recognized the importance and necessity of developing and maintaining a continuously updated webpage based on new publications and new concepts or ideas. Hence, Wijayawardene et al. (2020a) introduced ‘outlineoffungi.org’, which provides the classification of the kingdom Fungi. The website is currently being updated based on new studies and publications. Operation of Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa With the advent of molecular techniques, fungal taxonomy and classification have undergone a revolution (Ullah et al. 2022). Thus, the availability and accessibility of data to the end user are critical (Durkin et al. 2020). In the past decade, numerous databases have been established that provide easy access to fungal data (Jayasiri et al. 2015, Prakash et al. 2017, Nilsson et al. 2019, Põlme et al. 2020, Zanne et al. 2020, Ullah et al. 2022, Zhou & May 2022). Some databases are restricted to molecular, morphological, or ecological data (Nilsson et al. 2019, Ullah et al. 2022, Zhou & May 2022), while others are designed for specific fungal groups. They also mainly deal with taxonomy, such as https://marinefungi.org/ (Jones et al. 2019), www.freshwaterfungi.org (Calabon et al. 2020), https://gmsmicrofungi.org (deals with microfungi from the Greater Mekong Subregion; Chaiwan et al. 2021), theyeasts.org (yeasts), https://eumycetozoa.com (fungus-like taxa such as Myxomycetes, Dictyosteliomycetes and Protosteliomycetes; Lado 2005–2023), https://invertebratefungi.org/ (invertebrate-associated fungi and fungus-like taxa; Wei et al. 2022), https://botryosphaeriales.org (Wu et al. 2021) and https://www.fusarium.org/ (commonly referred to as FUSARIOID ID database that deals with Fusarium and fusarium-like genera, primarily for DNA-based identification and taxonomy). The classification of fungi is constantly and inevitably changing due to the discovery of new taxa, the use of novel DNA based techniques to better understand relationships, and the incorporation of more DNA sequences from multigenes and increasingly whole genome datasets to reanalyse existing classification schemes. Sometimes databases may also become obsolete over time (Prakash et al. 2017) often due to a lack of curation. Many taxonomic studies tend to overlook important features, such as ecology, which are crucial sources of information for fungal identification and biological conservation (Durkin et al. 2020). Where possible, this type of information should be made available. The registration of new taxa, combinations, and typifications in one of the three taxonomic repositories, Index Fungorum, MycoBank (Crous et al. 2004), and Fungal Names (https://nmdc.cn/fungalnames) is a condition of validity of these operations (May 2017, May et al. 2019, art. 5.F) and as they are linked to the other repositories, they are constantly being updated. Subsequently, the Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa database will provide a biannual update on new information, which will be curated by members of the consortium. The cross-database communications will help to identify and fill gaps, increase the discovery of, and improve the focus on genetic, ecological, and evolutionary information (Zanne et al. 2020). Thus, we expect to derive a stable classification of the Fungi and fungus-like taxa over time (Lado & Eliasson 2022). Notes on problems with classifications, nomenclature and taxonomic concepts The Outline of Fungi online database presented here will provide updated information on taxonomic changes in the notes part. Newly introduced taxa will be assigned to curators by the head curators. A note for newly introduced genera and higher-level taxa will be provided, which includes the current classification, synonyms, morphological characters, habitat, host, lifestyle, molecular evidence, phylogenetic placement, and current issues in the classification and nomenclature, including controversial topics. The curators will write notes on their expertise, which will be corrected and edited by the head curator. The author(s) of the original paper, where the genera or higher-level taxa were introduced, will not usually write the entry to avoid partiality. The notes will be linked to the repositories Index Fungorum, MycoBank, and Fungal Names. Furthermore, the fungal names will be linked to relevant databases such as coelomycetes (https://www.coelomycetes.org; Huanraluek et al. 2021), Dothideomycetes (https://dothideomycetes.org/, Pem et al. 2019), Faces of Fungi (http://www.facesoffungi.org; 1977 Jayasiri et al. 2015), Freshwater fungi (http://fungi.life.illinois.edu/; Calabon et al. 2020), Genera of Fungi (https://fungalgenera.org/), Lichenicolous fungi (http://www.lichenicolous.net/), Macrofungi (https://nmdc.cn/macrofungi/; He et al. 2022b), Marine fungi (https://marinefungi.org/; Jones et al. 2019), One stop shop to genera of phytopathogens (https://onestopshopfungi.org/; Jayawardena et al. 2019), fungus-like taxa (https://eumycetozoa.com/; Lado 2005–2023), Sordariomycetes (https://sordariomycetes.org/, Bundhun et al. 2020), theyeasts.org and UNITE (https://unite.ut.ee/; Nilsson et al. 2019). The online preprint of notes will be sent to the corresponding curator for final approval before the notes are posted on the outline webpage periodically as new taxa are published. All the notes and the new classification will be published biannually in the ‘Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa’ towards the end of the following year. While new genera and higher-level taxa introduced in the preceding year are easy to determine and include in the biannual outline, it is difficult to trace changes in the classifications that are published in papers that do not include new taxa. This problem has also been encountered on other webpages, such as Index Fungorum (P. Kirk, personal communication). It can be reduced by the participation of more than 500 curators who are experts on various groups of fungi and can provide an updated classification of their expert group. However, it is unlikely that even with more than 500 curators, the whole spectrum of fungi can be curated adequately. Therefore, alongside the Outline, a database Fungalpedia (Hyde et al. in press) will, over time, provide up-to-date notes on all genera of fungi so that the classification can also be updated. If there is a major disagreement in any classification, both sides of the disagreement will be encouraged to present entries in the outline justifying their opinion. The links to the entries in Fungalpedia will be added to the entry in the master file of the outline. Thus, this database will act as a user-friendly and informative platform that directs and allows users to browse and retrieve all the relevant updated information. Use of molecular and evolutionary data to improve fungal classification The classification of fungal species has historically relied heavily on the study of morphology (Taylor et al. 2000, Hyde et al. 2010). In fact, the initial investigations into fungal diversity were primarily conducted through field observations of macro- and micro-morphological characteristics (Truong et al. 2017, Cazabonne et al. 2022), establishing morphology as a fundamental aspect of early fungal diversity studies. However, morphology alone can lead to misidentifications due to overlapping structural characters shown by fungi (Hyde et al. 2009, Marin-Felix et al. 2020, Bhunjun et al. 2021b, Senanayake et al. 2022). Several studies have demonstrated that morphological crypsis masks the true diversity of taxa, whereas circumscriptions based on molecular data often reveal the presence of distinct lineages (Hyde et al. 2009, Manamgoda et al. 2014, Haelewaters et al. 2022, Leontyev et al. 2023a). On the other hand, one particular phylogenetically circumscribed species can also exhibit phenotypic plasticity which ultimately can result in categorizing taxon below species level (Van Caenegem et al. 2023). Accurate species identification is crucial to more accurately estimate the number of species, considering that the kingdom Fungi comprises, perhaps, 2.3–3.8 million species, but only about 156,000 of these have been properly named and classified (Hawksworth & Lücking 2017, Hyde et al. 2020a, Bhunjun et al. 2022, 2023, Phukhamsakda et al. 2022). Accurate species identification is also important to take necessary actions for effective plant disease control, quarantine measures, medical and veterinary mycology treatment (Opathy & Gabaldón 2019, Bhunjun et al. 2021a, Jayawardena et al. 2021a, b), biotech industry and patenting, agro-food industries (both in terms of spoilage and technological fungi), product authorisation (EFSA 2021), as well as for species conservation. Accurate species identification is a fundamental requirement for the comprehensive assessment of various aspects pertaining to specific fungal species, such as their geographic distribution, population dynamics, habitat preferences, and ecological interactions. These crucial criteria are employed to further evaluate the potential threats faced by these species and determine their conservation status. However, the process of identifying fungal species and individuals is often impeded by various challenges, thereby hindering the accurate evaluation of these aforementioned factors (Dahlberg & Mueller 2011, Mueller et al. 2022). 1978 Molecular studies have enhanced the way in which fungal species are defined and identified, clarifying inter- and intra-species phylogenetic relationships and correcting taxonomical errors arising from the phenotypic classification and identification methods used in the past. For this reason, the long-held convention of fungal species having two or more valid names for their teleomorph (sexual) and anamorph (asexual) states was abandoned in 2013 (Hawksworth et al. 2011). Moreover, advances in DNA based techniques and analyses revealed extensive genetic variation within species, leading to the description of new species (Kidd et al. 2023). The ITS region is often considered to include the whole ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 fragment of the ribosomal DNA and is the universal barcode marker for fungi, and it is commonly used to identify taxa to genus level in the case of speciose genera (Schoch et al. 2012, Bhunjun et al. 2021b); however, this is not the case with, e.g., within some groups of rust fungi (Pucciniales) (Ebinghaus et al. 2022, 2023a,b) or fungus-like protists (Leontyev & Schnittler 2022). For some fungal groupings, high levels of intragenomic variation compromise the utility of ITS. However, the introduction of the full ribosomal operon as extended fungal barcode alleviated some of these problems (Wurzbacher et al. 2019). Thus, accurate species- level identification now mainly relies on multi-gene analyses, and it is recommended to use a polyphasic approach based on multiple species recognition criteria (Simões et al. 2013, Jeewon & Hyde 2016, Bhunjun et al. 2020, Phukhamsakda et al. 2020, Chethana et al. 2021, Gannibal 2022, Haelewaters et al. 2022). Phylogenetic analyses are also the most commonly used method to infer the evolutionary relationships of fungal species based on molecular data (Laurence et al. 2014, Naranjo-Ortiz & Gabaldón 2019, Bhunjun et al. 2021b, Chethana et al. 2021, Strassert et al. 2021,, Ebinghaus et al. 2022, Su et al. 2022 García-Martín et al. 2023). Divergence time estimates (based on molecular clocks/dating) is also increasingly being used to unravel evolutionary relationships, origin and divergence of species. These analyses have also provided evidence to support the ranking of taxa (Zhao et al. 2016a, 2017, Hyde et al. 2017, Liu et al. 2017a, Guterres et al. 2018, Zhang et al. 2018b, He et al. 2019). Several studies have used divergence time estimates as additional evidence to introduce new families (Mapook et al. 2016, Phukhamsakda et al. 2016, Bhunjun et al. 2021c) and to support the ranking of taxa at higher levels (Pérez-Ortega et al. 2016, Samarakoon et al. 2016, Hyde et al. 2017, Zhao et al. 2017, Haelewaters et al. 2019). An ultrametric tree derived from divergence time estimates is also needed for analyses such as the general mixed Yule coalescent method and ancestral character state analysis (Parnmen et al. 2012, Zhao et al. 2016b, Thiyagaraja et al. 2020, Bhunjun et al. 2021b, Samarakoon et al. 2022). Coalescence methods play an important role in demarcating species as they provide a solution for incongruence among gene trees (Fujisawa & Barraclough 2013). These methods are becoming increasingly important in resolving cryptic species (Fujita et al. 2012, Fujisawa & Barraclough 2013, Sánchez-Ramírez et al. 2015, Bhunjun et al. 2021b). The use of whole genome data for classification Fungi, being one of the most diverse and speciose kingdoms, is estimated to have 2.3–3.8 million species, among which less than 10% have been identified (Blackwell 2011, Hawksworth & Lücking 2017, Baldrian et al. 2022). Several studies proposed the use of genome-wide phylogenies for species delimitation, as genome data can limit the impact caused by individual genes and produce a phylogeny that gives a snapshot of the entire genome (Fitzpatrick et al. 2006, Sobel et al. 2010, Steele & Pires 2011, Bobay & Ochman 2017, Hibbett et al. 2017, Zhao et al. 2017, Matute & Sepúlveda 2019, Xu 2020, Chethana et al. 2021, Chen et al. 2023). As this technique becomes widely used and prices become more acceptable, dedicated pipelines to facilitate genome-wide phylogenetic analyses of fungi are beginning to emerge (Kim et al. 2023). Molecular data have shown whether taxonomic groups that have been classified and named based on common morphological or phenotypic characters share a single common ancestor (i.e., monophyletic) or whether they have mixed ancestry (i.e., polyphyletic). In the case of polyphyletic genera, transferring the species that do not share a common ancestry into a more appropriate genus is clearly justified (Kidd et al. 2023). Molecular techniques, specifically multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, have become common approaches in most research studies, improving fungal taxonomy (Hibbett et al. 2007). However, 1979 research has shown that phylogenetic analyses using multi-genes may lead to erroneous phylogenetic interpretationsdue to insufficient information, gene-specific noises, the availability of sequences from only a few markers (mostly for ribosomal genes only), and incongruent phylogenies generated from different individual gene trees. The latter two issues cause poor resolution in the deep internal branches and poorly supported clades (Ebersberger et al. 2012, Xu 2016, 2020, Matute & Sepúlveda 2019, Chethana et al. 2021, García-Cunchillos et al. 2022, Liimatainen et al. 2022). In addition, whole genomes provide sufficient data to resolve internal nodes deeper in phylogenomic trees, and relationships evolved in short divergence times (James et al. 2020, Chen et al. 2023, Han et al. 2023). For example, there are many controversies around the class Sordariomycetes due to the introduction of numerous families and other higher ranks based mainly on a few markers, resulting in a grouping of phylogenetically unrelated taxa (Hyde et al. 2020b, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2022), low- resolution phylogenies and phylogenetic inconsistencies among different studies (Senanayake et al. 2018, Voglmayr et al. 2018, Hyde et al. 2020b, Samarakoon et al. 2022, Sun et al. 2022). Chen et al. (2023) conducted a phylogenomics analysis with 1,224 conserved protein sequences, covering 625 species across 50 families, 17 orders, and five subclasses. Their phylogenomic analyses demonstrated well-supported higher-level ranks, species-level phylogenies, and a strengthened backbone for Sordariomycetes, providing confirmative phylogenomic evidence to resolve some long-term debates in the mycological community. In addition to phylogenomics, comparative genomics establishes a robust evolutionary framework for fungal classification by decoding the genomic content responsible for functional and morphological similarities and divergences among closely related taxa (Floudas et al. 2012, Shen et al. 2018, Chethana et al. 2021, Wibberg et al. 2021, Díaz-Escandón et al. 2022). Among different phylogenomic approaches, the two most commonly used are i) the concatenated approach, which mainly infers relationships at deeper internal nodes, and ii) the coalescence approach, which resolves relationships at shallow nodes of the fungal tree (Matute & Sepúlveda 2019, James et al. 2020, Chen et al. 2023). Some studies employ both (Shen et al. 2018, Davis et al. 2019, Li et al. 2021, Strassert & Monaghan 2022), whereas some employ only one (Shen et al. 2016). Both nucleotides and amino acids (protein sequences) have been used for phylogenomics (Li et al. 2021, Wibberg et al. 2021, Strassert & Monaghan 2022, Chen et al. 2023). A previous study suggested that protein-level phylogeny reflects evolutionary divergence better as it directly correlates with the morphology and function of fungi (Chowdhury & Garai 2017). Furthermore, protein sequences evolve more slowly, as slight “silent” changes at the nucleotide level do not necessarily alter the protein sequences. Regier et al. (2008) showed that relatively slow-evolving genes produce higher congruence in their respective gene trees compared to those of fast-evolving ones, and the exclusion of the latter resulted in improved node support (Philippe et al. 2000, Nozaki et al. 2007). Similarly, Wibberg et al. (2021) demonstrated that the use of protein sequences facilitated a more robust inference of relationships between fungal families and higher ranks. Li et al. (2021) established a robust phylogenetic framework to assess fungal evolution and resolve conflict-prone and poorly supported major lineages in the fungal kingdom. They also established those that are sisters and the degree to which current taxonomy reflects their evolutionary relationships using 1,707 publicly available genomes of 1,679 taxa, representing every known major lineage across fungi and 28 taxa representing the outgroup. This study provided evidence that the relative evolutionary divergence (RED) of the current taxonomic ranks is consistent with their relative divergence times, resulting from the relaxed molecular clock approach, supporting the use of divergence times as a ranking criterion in fungal classification as suggested by previous studies (Avise & Johns 1999, Zhao et al. 2016a, 2017, Tedersoo et al. 2018). Using a smaller taxon-reduced but more balanced dataset, which allowed for computationally intensive analyses using best-fitting evolutionary models, Strassert & Monaghan (2022) resolved several contested deep nodes in the fungal tree of life, such as a sister relationship of Chytridiomyceta to all other non-Opisthosporidia fungi (with Chytridiomycota being sister to Monoblepharomycota + Neocallimastigomycota), a branching of Blastocladiomycota + Sanchytriomycota after Chytridiomyceta but before other non- Opisthosporidia fungi, and a branching of Glomeromycota as sister to the Dikarya. Recently, Groenewald et al. (2023) used the RED approach to reclassify the subphylum Saccharomycotina to 1980 make it consistent with high level classifications of another Ascomycota. Since the 2010s, several phylogenomic studies have been conducted separately for diverse Fungi and fungus-like taxonomic groups for species delineations, such as Aspergillaceae (Steenwyk et al. 2019), Cortinariaceae (Liimatainen et al. 2022), Glomeromycota (Montoliu-Nerin et al. 2021), Hypoxylaceae (Wibberg et al. 2021), Peronosporomycetes (McCarthy & Fitzpatrick 2017), Parmeliaceae (Pizarro et al. 2018), Peltigera (Magain et al. 2017), Rhizopus (Gryganskyi et al. 2018), Sordariomycetes (Chen et al. 2023), Trichoderma (Druzhinina et al. 2018) and Tilletia (Nguyen et al. 2019), as well as to establish higher level classifications (Fitzpatrick et al. 2006, Spatafora et al. 2016, Shen et al. 2018, 2020, Johnston et al. 2019, Haridas et al. 2020, Li et al. 2021, Montoliu-Nerin et al. 2021). Based on the ability of the genomic data to eliminate inconsistencies in multi-gene phylogeny and to integrate diverse criteria in fungal taxonomy, Xu (2020) proposed a new genome sequence-based fungal recognition criterion, the genomic species recognition. Comparative genomics approaches such as percentage of conserved proteins (POCP), average nucleotide identities (ANI), average amino acid identities (AAI), and shared and individual genes and gene families between taxa facilitate the establishment of relationships and taxonomic hierarchies as well as possible lifestyles (Wibberg et al. 2021). Changes to genomic content can occur because of selection pressure or other evolutionary forces like gene flow and bottleneck effects, hence reflecting evolution way better than sequence data. Whiston & Taylor (2016) suggested that gene family expansions and contractions influenced by adaptive radiation led to species or generic-level adaptations. Therefore, changes in genome content are often more suitable to distinguish species than those in nucleotide sequences of the selected markers. Wibberg et al. (2021) successfully used these genomic comparisons to differentiate Hypoxylaceae species. Though this approach has been applied previously to other organisms (Nobrega & Pennacchio 2004), this is the first study to apply genomic comparisons to deduce taxonomic hierarchies in fungi. Since these are all sequence-based classification approaches, the accuracy of the completeness and whole genome sequences, their annotation and the associated metadata must be ensured for effective and efficient phylogenomic analyses. Furthermore, sequencing errors and misassemblies can strongly influence protein-level phylogenomic reconstructions. Therefore, prior to analysis, it is important to establish that the target genomes are of high quality (Zhou 2023). Collectively, these studies demonstrate the success achieved using genomic data via phylogenomic reconstructions and comparative genomic approaches to re-evaluate current taxonomic concepts. Morphology in the molecular era of fungal classification Morphological characterization of newly described fungal taxa is still needed in the molecular era of fungal classification (Hyde et al. 2010). The written parts of a description should focus on the shapes, colours and typical dimensions (length, width, breadth) of the fungal elements (usually hyphae or yeast cells, mature spores, and sporogenesis), focusing on those with a distinctive diagnostic value over similar taxa. The shape descriptions (if possible) should be made with examination in the living state (Baral 1992, Dominguez de Toledo 1994), following the recommendations given in the Dictionary of Fungi (Kirk et al. 2008). Image analysis is a novel, high- throughput method that allows the automated recording and evaluation of microscopic images (Posch et al. 2012). Colony colours can be determined by the ‘RGB profiling’ procedure (Puchkov 2016). Line drawings and microphotographs (preferably both) are essential elements of a useful description. Authors should consider which illustration technique is most relevant to show key characteristics (Fawcett 1987). Details hardly visible on photographs should be illustrated with line drawings, SEM, or different focus /illumination settings of a light microscope. High quality descriptions should show more than one spore, all of them rotated in the same orientation, which will facilitate visual recognition (Harman et al. 1999). The appearance of the colony on the host, natural, and/or artificial substrate is also required in some taxa. Scale bars should be used instead of an indication of magnification. Figure legends should contain the full genus and species names and the techniques (e.g., staining) used to produce the figure. 1981 The use of ecology to improve fungal classification Fungi are often considered a hidden component of the ecosystem and play crucial roles as decomposers, antagonistic or mutualistic symbionts of animals, plants, and other organisms. Fungi are essential for the recycling of nutrients in all habitats and interact in various ways with themselves, with representatives of other phylogenetic groups, and with organic and inorganic substrates (Dilly & Munch 2001, Dilly et al. 2004, Osono 2017, Jeewon et al. 2018, Zhang et al. 2018a, Gkoutselis et al. 2021, Chen et al. 2022a). Pieces of evidence also tend to suggest that aquatic fungi may be important promoters of nutrient and energy transfer in aquatic ecosystems (Danger et al. 2016). In addition, fungi exist in almost every conceivable habitat where organic carbon is available (e.g., freshwater, marine water, soil, rock surfaces, plants and animals, microplastic), which causes a vast range of variation in their morphology, reproduction, life cycles and modes of dispersal (Tsui et al. 2016, Grossart et al. 2019, Hyde et al. 2020a, Chen et al. 2022b). Ecological information, together with fungal identification, is important to achieve the predicted fungal diversity and ultimately fungal classification (Hyde et al. 2020b). However, although only some 156,000 species of fungi have been formally described and are accepted in the fungal kingdom so far, the ecological strategies they have evolved have been very successful even in adverse (Cantrell et al. 2011) or special environmental conditions, e.g., plant trichomes (Pereira-Carvalho et al. 2009). Giant diverse ecosystems such as those present in the African savannas are unexplored, while Neotropical vegetation is also underexplored (Dianese et al. 2022). In recent years, an enormous number of unidentified molecular operational taxonomic units (OTUs) or amplified sequence variants (ASVs) were discovered because of ecological studies of fungal diversity (e.g., fungal succession) using high-throughput sequencing techniques (O’Brien et al. 2005, Porter et al. 2008, Ge et al. 2017, Li et al. 2017, Pietsch et al. 2019, Gui et al. 2020, Purahong et al. 2022). These sequences show the high diversity of fungal resources; however, the naming of taxa is required for fungal classification under the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants. Numerous deposited sequences, however, lack taxonomic assignment, resulting in a great amount of ‘uncultured fungus’ unvouchered sequences (Hofstetter et al. 2019) unlikely to be integrated into any fungal classification. Numerous mycologists have suggested that an integrated naming system is needed to facilitate unambiguous communication (Hibbett et al. 2011, Hawksworth et al. 2018, Ryberg & Nilsson 2018, Nilsson et al. 2023). Mycologists have debated the inclusion of molecular operational taxonomic units in taxonomy (Zamora et al. 2018), and the subject is still being discussed. Hongsanan et al. (2018) provided case studies on some genera (Botryosphaeria, Colletotrichum, Penicillium, and Xylaria) and illustrated that it is inappropriate to use DNA as holotypes in assigning names to fungal species due to the shorter fragments of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) obtained from environmental sequencing. In the meantime, Wu et al. (2019) proposed that attempts to obtain cultures of specimens as physical types should be the priority, the complete genome sequence of fungi (single-cell genome) as a DNA type is the second choice, and fungal sequence data generated from environmental genomic DNA can be a temporary digital type. Thus, these ecology-based studies have remarkable significance for revealing unknown fungal taxa and supporting fungal classification. As shown by Nilsson et al. (2023) “species discovery through environmental sequencing vastly outpaces traditional, Sanger sequencing-based efforts, in a strongly increasing trend over the last five years”. Fungal ecology-related aspects of fungal classification provide many merits, but there are also some misconceptions. One is that most historical fungal identifications were made based on cyanobacterial, algal, plant, or animal host associations (Jeewon et al. 2004, Dayarathne et al. 2016, Liu et al. 2017). This approach is quite error-prone and has resulted in species with few character differences and egregious misidentifications. For instance, according to assessments of Pestalotiopsis species by Jeewon et al. (2004) and Maharachchikumbura et al. (2014), numerous species that have been described based on host association (without phylogenetic data) are probably not valid species. An assumed very narrow natural host range of a fungus may potentially be much wider, as shown in an experimental setup with a carabidicolous Laboulbenia species (De Kesel 1996). On the other hand, a single host can support different species belonging to the same genus. For example, Jeewon et al. 1982 (2004) revealed two species of the endophytic genus Pestalotiopsis (P. sydowiana (Bres.) B. Sutton and P. theae (Sawada) Steyaert) from Protea mellifera Thunb., and neither species appears to be closely related. Liu et al. (2017) introduced eight Pestalotiopsis species and three Pseudopestalotiopsis species from a single host. Thus, host-based fungal species nomenclature reflects multiple misleading points and needs molecular approaches for better resolution for identification and ultimately fungal classification. New host records are also extremely important (Hyde et al. 2020c) because they can reveal the diversity of adaptations and evolutionary traits of a species. The use of chemical profiles to improve fungal classification Fungi are diverse in terms of their morphology, ecology, and chemical profiles (Naranjo-Ortiz & Gabaldón 2019). There are 845 publications and 26,288 citations on the Web of Science website using the keywords ‘fungi’, ‘natural product’ and ‘classification’ and 259 publications with 4,662 citations with the words ‘fungi’ and ‘chemotaxonomy’ from 2010 to 2022. Many publications highlight the advantages of involving chemical profiles in fungal classifications (Frisvad et al. 2008, Raja et al. 2017, Reich & Labes 2017, Guo et al. 2021, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2021). Morphological characters in speciose groups can be misleading due to cryptic speciation, hybridization, and convergent evolution (Raja et al. 2017, Sun et al. 2019, Boekhout et al. 2022); therefore, the application of chemotaxonomy has often been used to increase the efficiency of identifying, exploring and exploiting fungi (Frisvad 2015). However, studies have suggested that the secondary metabolite, also referred to as specialized metabolite profiles in fungi can be strain- specific, species-specific, or common to all species. This could be because fungal extracts include secondary as well as primary metabolites. In yeasts, growth patterns have been used for decades, as well as biochemical tests, i.e., chemotaxonomy (Kurtzman et al. 2011). Also, it is crucial to note that even minor changes in cultivation conditions can lead to a profound shift in the fungal metabolomic profile, underscoring the importance of maximizing the number of culture media and conditions to comprehensively assess the fungal metabolome (Rédou et al. 2016) Chemotaxonomy is commonly used to classify and identify filamentous fungi using their chemical diversity for taxonomic purposes. This commonly consists of compounds produced on different media and includes toxins, antibiotics and other compounds defined very broadly, such as fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates, or secondary metabolites, (Frisvad et al. 2008). However, not all compounds can be used for chemotaxonomy as the profile is based only on compounds with differentiation ability (Frisvad et al. 2008). Most fungi are fast-growing and have a high reproductive capacity; thus, metabolite profiles are generally unique in an individual group (Walker & White 2017). Different fungal species can produce one or more common secondary metabolites. For example, cytochalasin D has been reported as being produced by several fungal species in phylogenetically different groups, such as Basidiomycota (Coriolus vernicipes (Berk.) Murrill) and Ascomycota (Hypoxylon terricola J.H. Mill., Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokīn and Zygosporium masonii S. Hughes) (Cole et al. 2003, Vicente et al. 2003). The hypocrealean genus Pochonia produces several secondary metabolites such as monordens and other resorcyclic acid lactones, citreoviridin A and aurovertin B, common to Penicillium and Aspergillus species (Stadler et al. 2003). Chemotaxonomy is very helpful in delimiting species, especially in the resolution of species complexes that could not have been distinguished based on classical morphology and can be used as chemotaxonomic markers in comparative studies (Saag et al. 2009, Læssøe et al. 2010, Surup et al. 2014, Kuhnert et al. 2017, Dickschat et al. 2018, Rinkel et al. 2018, Lambert et al. 2019, Ekman & Tønsberg 2022). Fatty acids have been used as potential chemotaxonomic markers for identification in Albugo, Cunninghamella, Mortierella, Mucor, Plasmopara, Puccinia, Pustula, Rhizomucor and Wilsoniana species (Blomquist et al. 1992, Weete & Gandhi 1999, Spring & Haas 2002, Spring et al. 2005, Wołczańska et al. 2021). Some hypoxylean taxa, such as Hypoxylon griseobrunneum (B.S. Mehrotra) J. Fourn., Kuhnert & M. Stadler, H. invadens J. Fourn. and H. macrocarpum Pouzar, yielded several new natural volatiles that can be used as chemotaxonomic markers for a comparative 1983 volatiles study (Dickschat et al. 2018, Rinkel et al. 2018). In the myxomycete genus Lycogala, the presence and structure of crystallic lime in peridial vesicles were shown to be a useful criterion for delimiting species (Leontyev et al. 2022, 2023b). Use of integrative approaches to improve fungal classification Concurrent application of multiple characters or integrative approaches has the power to reduce confusion in identifications and help to improve contrasting classifications arising from various species concepts based on phenetics, phylogeny, ecology, evolution, chemistry, and physiology. Using polyphasic approaches based on morphological, molecular, and chemotaxonomic data is recommended and appears to provide a more useful classification tool, and is helpful in delimiting species (Stadler et al. 2014, Cao et al. 2021, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2021). In addition, biosynthesis, physiological, and genotypic information show functional characteristics that can improve the potential industrial production of fungal metabolites (Keller 2019). The use of physiology to improve fungal classification Although not so common, physiological tests can be a useful tool for fungal classification. Basidiomycetous yeasts produce urease amongst other enzymes (i.e., see Kurtzman et al. 2011 and theyeasts.org), with quite extensive growth profiles, whereas in ascomycetous yeasts that enzyme is mostly lacking. Splitting of esculin by Apophysomyces elegans P.C. Misra, K.J. Srivast. & Lata growing on bile esculin agar is sufficient to separate that species from the rest of the genus (Alvarez et al. 2010). Fermentation and utilisation of compounds have proven useful for circumscription of genera, for example, Mrakia (glucose-fermenting basidiomycete), Ogataea (methanol assimilation), and Scheffersomyces (xylose fermentation). Professional criticism of mycological scientific work Mycologists have different opinions, which could be subject to different interpretations, and unlike computers, humans make mistakes. This might involve missing references, poor alignments, ambiguous trees, and incorrectly deposited or missing data, amongst others. Phylogenomic information obtained from multi-gene sequences must be coupled and complemented with morphological characters during taxonomic studies (Hyde et al. 2010). In this context, reference to type specimens should be emphasized to adequately calibrate the morphological definition of species. Efforts should further include obtaining DNA sequences from type specimens of already described species and using these sequences in phylogenetic analyses whenever possible to ensure a direct reference to taxa within the phylogeny (e.g., Forin et al. 2018, Ronikier et al. 2022). The separation of genotype and phenotype criteria increases the frequency of mistakes by mycologists, which can be observed in mycological publications. It is essential that when other scientists encounter these mistakes, they should point them out. This might involve notifying the authors, asking for data that were not deposited, or discussing the work in publications. Most importantly, though, any criticism should be written professionally. It is rare that scientists deliberately publish incorrect research or data, although it is known to happen. However, it is not always possible to pick up every error. An eminent Chinese mycologist once stated that the job of the supervisor “is to find the silly hidden mistakes that students make in papers submitted for comment”. Unfortunately, scientists can make mistakes, and professionally worded criticism or helpful advice will be much better received. Unhelpful or spiteful criticism does not help the situation and may discourage new scientists from continuing in their careers. The number of mycologists has been declining rapidly in Western countries; meanwhile, there have been an increasing number of mycologists being trained in other countries, such as Brazil, Thailand, and China. Members of the community should engage in encouraging and helping all who are interested in continuing their careers (Hyde et al. 2010). Therefore, in the Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa and other related publications, we will follow our ethics of professional criticism of mycological scientific work. We hope that these ethics will be adopted throughout the mycological literature. 1984 Voting for opinions on problems of classification, nomenclature and taxonomic concepts In cases where there are major differences in opinion regarding classification, nomenclature, and taxonomic concepts, we will encourage authors with opposing views to write arguments supporting their approaches and publish these in the outline. In some cases, we may need to follow one approach and also list a different one in the notes or outline. We may also send arguments, disseminated through electronic emails, to the consortium and ask them to vote on their preference, including a comment on their point of view, in a confidential online vote. The results of the vote can then be presented to the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi and the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi with opinions and percentages of votes for and against each view. The members of the consortium are listed in Table 1 with their expertise and country. Table 1 List of mycologist names, expertise, and countries.
