The easily recognised genus Otidea is subjected to numerous problems in species identification. A number of old names have undergone various interpretations, materials from different continents have not been compared and misidentifications occur commonly. In this context, Otidea is monographed, based on our multiple gene phylogenies assessing speci...

... It occurs also in many parts of North America. The species has been reported for the first time to the Tunisian macromycota and is the third for the whole African (Dennis, 1984;Olariaga et al., 2015;GBIF, 2023). The species is characterised by its medium brown receptacle and light yellowish-brown basal mycelium that lacks brown resinous exudates. ...
... Compared to Otidea alutacea, Otidea bufonia has a dark brown fruit body on its outside (versus pale brown) and concolorous or slightly paler hymenium (somewhat dark, yellowish or medium brown, mainly when dry in Otidea alutacea). In addition, basal mycelium is brownish in Otidea bufonia; however, it is pure white in Otidea alutacea (Olariaga et al., 2015;Naseer et al., 2019). Moreover, Otidea bufonia is ecologically distinguished from the remarkably similar Otidea mirabilis Bolognini & Jamoni, a species usually occurring in coniferous forests on calcareous substrates. ...
Three taxa of macromycetes, Otidea alutacea, Otidea bufonia and Phylloscypha phyllogena, were first recorded in Tunisia. Occurrences of Humaria hemisphaerica and Peziza vesiculosa were confirmed from the northwestern part of Tunisia more than 100 years after their first records in the northeast and the southwestern
parts of the country, respectively. The species reported belong to three families of the Pezizales order (Otideaceae, Pezizaceae and Pyronemataceae). Short descriptions of their distinctive macroscopic and microscopic features, ecology and geographical distribution in Tunisia are given. The locality, the data of collection and field photographs for each species are also presented.

Data from literary and herbarium sources related to the ecological requirements of the presented taxa are compared with knowledge gained during the field research, and taxonomic issues are also commented on. For species with an exceptional occurrence in the Czech Republic, i.e. Elaiopezia polaripapulata, Geoscypha ampelina, Leucoscypha leucotricha, Malvipezia howsei, and Peziza saccardoana, an overview of exsiccates deposited in the collections of Czech public and private herbaria is presented.)
... En México, Pezizales es uno de los órdenes mejor conocido de ascomicetos con 185 especies (Medel, 2007). Adicionalmente se han incorporado registros por micólogos mexicanos y extranjeros (Guevara-Guerrero et al., 2008, 2018Raymundo et al., 2012Raymundo et al., , 2013Raymundo et al., , 2014Raymundo et al., , 2016Raymundo et al., , 2019Raymundo et al., , 2020Medel et al., 2013a, b;Olariaga et al., 2015;Rodríguez et al., 2015;Sierra et al., 2016;Gómez-Reyes et al., 2018;Piña Paez et al., 2018;Grupe II et al., 2019;Leonardi et al., 2019;Ortega-López et al., 2019;Sánchez-Flores et al., 2020García-Jiménez et al., 2021;Landeros et al., 2021;De la Fuente et al., 2022).

Antecedentes y Objetivos:
Pezizales es uno de los órdenes del reino Fungi más estudiados en el mundo y el segundo grupo de ascomicetos mejor conocido en México con 185 especies. En contraste, existen solo 23 especies registradas para Sonora. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la riqueza taxonómica de Pezizales asociados al bosque de pino-encino en una localidad del municipio de Yécora, Sonora, México.
Métodos:
Se realizaron cinco muestreos estacionales en bosque de pino-encino de Los Pilares, Yécora, Sonora durante los años 2020-2021. La determinación taxonómica se hizo con claves especializadas con base en la caracterización macro- y micromorfológica de los especímenes.
Resultados clave:
Se determinaron 16 especies de Pezizales distribuidas en siete familias: Helvellaceae (5), Pezizaceae (2), Pseudombrophilaceae (1), Pulvinulaceae (1), Pyronemataceae (4), Sarcosomataceae (1) y Sarcoscyphaceae (2). Doce especies son nuevos registros para Sonora y seis para México: Geopyxis deceptiva, Helvella dryophila, Plectania milleri, Pseudombrophila fuscolilacina, Pseudopithyella magnispora y Tricophaeopsis latispora. Además, los tres últimos taxones se citan por primera vez para el continente americano.
Conclusiones:
El catálogo de Pezizales de Sonora se incrementó a 35 especies; no obstante, es importante dar continuidad a estudios que incluyan análisis ecológicos y filogenéticos de este grupo de hongos.
... Members of the genus exhibit a wide range of ascomatal forms, with split to entire, sessile to stipitate, cupulate to ear-shaped epigeous apothecia, as well as closed, solid ascomata in hypogeous taxa, and are mainly distributed in temperate zones of Europe, North America, and Asia in the northern hemisphere, with a few from the arctic-alpine regions. Species of Otidea are considered to be ectomycorrhizal and thus play important roles in forest ecosystems [4][5][6][7][8][9]. ...
... Hansen and Olariaga [7] used multilocus phylogenies (LSU, rpb2, tef1-α) to elucidate species relationships within Otidea. Olariaga et al. [8] simultaneously published a monograph of the genus based on relatively extensive taxon sampling and introduced new morphological and histochemical features for species identification. These works laid the Biology 2022, 11, 866 2 of 18 foundation for subsequent research of Otidea. ...
... Massee is similar to that of O. bomiensis, but O. adorniae differs from O. bomiensis in having smaller ascospores (10.5-)11-12(-12.5) × 6-6.5(-7) µm, O. alutacea differs in darker receptacle surface color, which is yellowish brown, sometimes with purplish brown tones [8,10]. Otidea aspera also has pale yellow receptacle surface similar to O. bomiensis, but O. aspera differs in having shorter ascospores (12-)12.8-15(-15.5) ...
The emergence of molecular systematics has greatly helped researchers to identify fungal species. China has abundant Otidea species resources, and a number of new species of Otidea have been recently proposed. However, many old specimens in herbaria are mainly identified by morphology rather than molecular methods. In this study, 11 specimens deposited in Chinese herbaria and one newly collected Otidea species from northern China were identified based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Four gene fragments (ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tef1-α) were used to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of species within Otidea. A total of nine phylogenetic species are recognized, of which four are described as new species, namely O. bomiensis, O. gongnaisiensis, O. hanzhongensis, and O. shennongjiana. Among the known species were O. aspera and O. sinensis.
... Although radical views to bypass some of these difficulties have occasionally been put forward, such as the controversial PhyloCode advocating for a system of rankless phylotaxonomy (de Queiroz and Gauthier 1990, 1992, 1994, or calls to abandon binomial nomenclature altogether (Money 2013), these have been widely rejected by the academic community and Linnaean binomial nomenclature continues to form the basis of scientific communication (e.g., Nixon and Carpenter 2000;Carpenter 2003;Wheeler 2004;Will et al. 2005;Korf 2005;Schoch et al. 2014;Minnis 2015;Dayarathne et al. 2016;Zamora et al. 2018). Therefore, genetic characterization of early-described taxa through sequencing of original material and/or designation of sequenced epitypes remains the most cautious, widely accepted, and least disruptive method of solving complex taxonomic problems and stabilizing taxonomy and nomenclature within critical genera (Hyde and Zhang 2008;Ariyawansa et al. 2014;Liimatainen et al. 2014b;Vesterholt et al. 2014;Borovička et al. 2015;Olariaga et al. 2015;Vizzini et al. 2016Vizzini et al. , 2020Richard et al. 2015;Dima et al. 2016;Skrede et al. 2017;Moreau et al. 2018;Lombard et al. 2018;Turland et al.2018;Van Vooren et al. 2019;Loizides et al. 2020;Van Vooren 2020). Powerful new technologies such as next-generation sequencing, able to produce useful DNA sequences from old and contaminated material, are expected to be decisive in decrypting the genetic identity of early-described taxa in the years to come Bellanger et al. 2021;Bidaud et al. 2021). ...
The genus Morchella has gone through turbulent taxonomic treatments. Although significant progress in Morchella systematics has been achieved in the past decade, several problems remain unresolved and taxonomy in the genus is still in flux. In late 2019, a paper published in the open-access journal Scientific Reports raised serious concerns about the taxonomic stability of the genus, but also about the future of academic publishing. The paper, entitled “High diversity of Morchella and a novel lineage of the esculenta clade from the north Qinling Mountains revealed by GCPSR-based study” by Phanpadith and colleagues, suffered from gross methodological errors, included false results and artifactual phylogenies, had misapplied citations throughout, and proposed a new species name invalidly. Although the paper was eventually retracted by Scientific Reports in 2021, the fact that such an overtly flawed and scientifically unsound paper was published in a high-ranked Q1 journal raises alarming questions about quality controls and safekeeping procedures in scholarly publishing. Using this paper as a case study, we provide a critical review on the pitfalls of Morchella systematics followed by a series of recommendations for the delimitation of species, description of taxa, and ultimately for a sustainable taxonomy in Morchella. Problems and loopholes in the academic publishing system are also identified and discussed, and additional quality controls in the pre- and post-publication stages are proposed.
... Lobulomyces has been found in the saltmarsh and marine environment (Simmons et al., 2012;Richards et al., 2015). Previous studies showed that the genus Tarzetta and Otidea were generally thrived in the forest, yet our result suggested that they also probably participate multiple soil nutrient cycling processes in saltmarsh which frequently influenced by marine environment (Hansen et al., 2015;Olariaga et al., 2015). Similarly, in the SM zone, Ascomycota phylotypes including Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycetes, Leotiomycetes, and Dothideomycetes were the major predictors on soil multifunctionality and single N/P functions. ...

Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands located in temperate climatic zones, in which marine-to-terrestrial transition significantly influences microbial life. Numerous studies revealed the important coupling relationship between microbial diversity and ecosystem functions in terrestrial ecosystem, however, the importance of microbial diversity in maintaining soil function in coastal ecosystems remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the shifts of microbial communities and soil multifunctionality (SMF; nine functions related with C, N and P cycling) along a vegetation gradient in a salt marsh ecosystem and investigated the microbial diversity-function relationship. The aboveground vegetation shifted from mud flat (MF) to Scirpus triqueter (SM) and then Phragmites australis (PA) with increasing distance away from the sea. Average approach showed that the SMF was much higher in halophytes covered zones including SM and PA than in mud flat, and structural equation model (SEM) analysis confirmed that vegetation was an important predictor on SMF besides moisture and organic carbon. Linear regression and multiple threshold methods showed that in MF zone and SM zone, fungal rather than bacterial richness was significantly and positively correlated with SMF, while in the PA zone microbial diversity did not relate with SMF. Random forest analysis identified several Ascomycota taxa with preference over marine environment as strong predictors of SMF. Taken together, our study lays the basis for a better understanding of the relationships between belowground microbial diversity and soil functions in salt marshes.

An account of British species and taxa of Otidea is presented based on morphology and molecular data obtained from the fungarium collections, at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K) and elsewhere. Based on a phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the fungal nuclear rDNA, sixteen named and three unnamed taxa are recognised. Five species are being reported for the first time from Britain, which are Otidea caeruleopruinosa, O. flavidobrunneola, O. formicarum, O. nannfeldtii, and O. tuomikoskii. The presence in Britain is confirmed of O. minor, and also of O. adorniae and O. parvispora, recent segregates from O. alutacea which had been considered to be a species ‘complex’. Reliability of using only ITS phylograms for species identification in this study has been tested by comparing them with the multiple gene analyses presented in other studies. All British Otidea species are of European origin. Geographical distribution and frequency of Otidea collections within Britain are briefly discussed.
