Fungal Species: Dermoloma cuneifolium

Nomenclatural review of names published in the fungal genus Dermoloma (Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Tricholomataceae) based on morphological analyses of type specimens

This study examines nine type specimens of mushrooms in the genus Dermoloma, which are small fungi found in grasslands and forests. Researchers used microscopic analysis to describe detailed features of these specimens and determine which ones truly belong to the Dermoloma genus. The study found that three species previously classified as Dermoloma actually belong to different genera, while clarifying the identity of other species that had not been formally recorded in recent years.

Protein Coding Low-Copy rpb2 and ef1-α Regions Are Viable Fungal Metabarcoding DNA Markers Which Can Supplement ITS for Better Accuracy

Researchers tested different DNA markers for identifying fungal species using DNA sequencing technology. They compared the standard fungal marker (ITS) with two alternative protein-coding markers (rpb2 and ef1-α) on closely related mushroom species. The results showed that using multiple markers together provides better and more reliable identification of fungal species compared to using just one marker, which is especially useful for environmental monitoring and species identification studies.
