Abstract
The identification, classification, and nomenclature of asexual fungi, including coelomycetes, have been rapidly changing. However, the nomenclatural changes of coelomycetous fungi have not been thoroughly discussed since Sutton (1977). Therefore, it is essential to compile all scattered data and revisit the list of generic names. This study aims to compile all published generic names of coelomycetous taxa, including invalid and illegitimate names. Additionally, sexual genera that have coelomycetous asexual morphs are also provided. This paper is part of a series of papers on coelomycetous genera.
Plain Language Summary
The way scientists name and classify a group of fungi called coelomycetes has become complex and confusing over time. A major update on their naming rules hasn’t been done in over 40 years, leaving information scattered across many publications. This study aims to solve that problem by gathering all of this data into one place. Researchers are creating a complete list of every scientific name ever given to these fungi—including names that are now considered incorrect. This comprehensive catalog will serve as a vital, updated resource for scientists studying these important microorganisms.
