  1. The Fungal Community: Its Organization and Role in the Ecosystem, Third Edition Edited by John Dighton, James F White Jr. and Peter Oudemans  CRC Press

  2. “Many of our unidentifiable sequences may represent novel lineages with no representatives known from cultures or fruiting bodies, but almost all SSU sequences clustered with known fungal groups in phylogenetic analyses, suggesting that theyrepresent known fungi which are not yet in the ITS database.” O’Brien et al. 2005.

  3. 800k+ specimens 100+ in GenBank Kew ? GenBank 9.5k+ species (Nilsson et al. ‘06) Nature 5+ million fungal species (O’Brien et al. ‘05)

  4. no data Hygrocybe spp. match unidentified sequences others match identified sequences Geastrum spp. “Closing the sequence gap: Fungal DNA barcoding at Kew” All UK hypogeous, puffballs, earthstars, waxcaps and tooth fungi. Two specimens per species from different UK counties. ITS for 516 specimens. Manual vs. robotic purification vs. robotic extraction+purification. 2005 seed grant from The Royal Society. “known fungi which are not yet in the ITS database”

  5. species list entry not in GenBank HerbTrack <30yrs old And about 100k specimens to go… sampling DNA extraction + purification BLAST + comparison to conspecific PCR DNA sequencing GenBank m.bidartondo@imperial.ac.uk
