Consequences of Misnomer or Mistakes in Identification of Fungal Species
Volume 17,
Issue 11, 2015,
pp. 1031-1036
DOI: 10.1615/IntJMedMushrooms.v17.i11.20
ABSTRACT
The author, as a reviewer of many international journals, describes his long-standing experiences with incorrect identification of mushroom and fungal species and the resultant incorrect naming of those species that served as experimental models. From his own praxis, he selected several characteristic examples that sometimes ended in a curious situation. Some recommendations to authors of publications and persons responsible for the proper naming of mushrooms under study are summarized.
KEY WORDS: medicinal mushrooms, taxonomy, nomenclature, mushroom names, valid and invalid names, culture collection contaminations
