Francois Lutzoni and Joey Spatafora are coordinating the sampling of molecular data for the Ascomycota. Approximately 800 taxa will be sampled for ~10,000 bp of data from seven loci. Francois is in coordinating the sampling of lichenized fungi and closely related nonlichenized lineages. Joey is coordinating the sampling of the remainder of the nonlichenized Ascomycota and anamorph species. Anyone wishing to participate in this part of the project should contact Francois and/or Joey. To facilitate communication, AFTOL is following the classification of Eriksson et al 2002.
