Report of the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi: 15

Abstract

The following names are recommended for conservation: Pseudocercospora against Stigmina and Phaeoisariopsis; Boletus applanatus against B. lipsiensis; Lyophyllum with L. semitale as conserved type; Roccellina against Roccellaria; Psilocybe with P. semilanceata as conserved type; Calvatia nom. cons. against Lanopila; and Phaeographis against Creographa, Ectographis, Flegographa, Hymenodecton, Platygramma, and Pyrographa and with P. dendritica as conserved type. As a result of reference under Art. 32.4, the Committee recommends that the descriptive statement accompanying publication of Ascomycota Cavalier-Smith be considered adequate for valid publication but recommends that that for Blastocladiomycota Doweld should not.
