Notes:

General: The classification used here is that of Eriksson et al 2002 and is largely based on results from rDNA phylogenies.

There are 325 species on this telemorph list.  The anamorph list is posted separately and includes 146 species.

AFTOL will sample about 800 species of Ascomycota with 400 being sampled from the taxa listed below and the anamorph list. (See list of lichenized taxa for the remaining 400 to be sampled.) * denotes taxa that are being sampled for the same genes listed in the AFTOL project as part of other research projects. "?" denotes taxa that some researchers have questioned their appropriateness for sampling.

Numerous genera on this list have been "nominated", but additional refinement is needed in selecting appropriate species representatives.

Please review the list and make any comments to Joey Spatafora with respect to taxon selection and provision of specimens. All data will be immediately returned to the researcher that provided the data and posted on a web accessible AFTOL database. More than one person may offer to provide specimens from the same taxon.

Column 1: Subphylum

Column 2: Order

Column 3: Families and approximate numbers of species to be sampled in each family are given in brackets.

Column 4: Exemplar species that have been nominated or suggested.
