Topic: Microfungi names

Hello Chris.  I have more microfungi records for which I can’t find names in UKSI. These are all identified by Bruce Ing from Highland recently.  They are as Bruce provided them, with links I have uncovered:

Leptothyrium berberidis
eol
mycobank

Phoma escalloniae
eol

Would you be able to add these, please?  I discover I failed to thank you for adding previous names back in March at forums.  So – thanks for doing that. They are not yet on the Gateway or R6, but I assume that will come with the next dictionary update.

Murdo

(It seems I am not allowed to use links with this new identity, so I am afraid I can only give the sites.)

Re: Microfungi names

No problem Murdo - here they are:

Leptothyrium berberidis Richon
tvk NHMSYS0021164133

Phoma escalloniae Sacc.
tvk NHMSYS0021164139

There should be a big BMS update coming soon too, so it should fix a lot of problems with fungi :)
