Henrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The international DNA sequence databases abound in fungal sequences not annotated beyond the kingdom level, typically bearing names such as “uncultured fungus”. These sequences beget low-resolution mycological results and ...
    • How, not if, is the question mycologists should be asking about DNA-based typification
