世界大型真菌分类系统及信息平台http://www.nmdc.cn/macrofungi/上线

真菌是真核生物中除植物和动物的第三类生物,其中拥有肉眼可辨识的大型子实体的真菌被泛称为大型真菌,即人们所熟知的蕈菌、蘑菇。分类学上大多数物种来自担子菌门,少数来自子囊菌门。随着分子系统发育研究的开展,真菌分类学获得了巨大的进步,同时随着类群间进化关系认识的不断深入,近年来真菌分类系统经历了大量的调整,不断推陈出新,这让使用者难以把握。近期结合分子系统学研究的最新进展,担子菌门及子囊菌门的分类系统得以修订,为了方便广大研究者对大型真菌分类系统的需求,在中国科学院微生物研究所真菌学国家重点实验室、中国科学院微生物研究所菌物标本馆、中国菌物学会、中国菌物标本馆联盟的支持下,结合相关研究成果,世界大型真菌分类系统及信息平台上线。该平台提供了完整的大型真菌分类系统及相关分类信息,并在广泛的国内外合作基础上,实现定期更新。这将满足不同领域的研究者对相关信息的需求,并为研究者提供学术交流平台,有力促进大型真菌分类系统的稳定性和前沿性。

Macrofungal classification system and information platform http://www.nmdc.cn/macrofungi/ is launched

Fungi are one of the three main organisms in eukaryote (Fungi, Plantae and Animalia). Fungi with large fruiting bodies visible to the naked eyes and hand-pickable were commonly known as mushrooms and toadstools. Taxonomically, most of the macrofungi are of Basidiomycota and a few Ascomycota. In the past decades, development of molecular analyses and phylogeny promote great progress in fungal taxonomy and the evolutionary relationships of fungal taxa are more perfectly known than before. Thus, the taxonomic systems of macrofungi are changed accordingly, greatly, and updated constantly. However, these changes make difficulties for public users who are interested in macrofungi. To meet the public demands, we revised the taxonomic system of macrofungi based on our recent results of research on molecular phylogeny and taxonomy, and estabilish the Macrofungi Classification System and Information Platform. This platform is supported from State Key Laboratory of Mycology, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Herbarium Mycologicum Academiae Sinicae, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mycological Society of China, and Fungarium Union of China. This platform provides a comprehensive taxonomic system and information on macrofungi, and will be updated periodically with domestic and international mycologist’s cooperation, to meet the requirements of related researchers.
