Abstract
|
|
|
|
The earliest pre-Linnaean fungal genera are briefly discussed here with special emphasis on the nomenclaturalconnection with the genus Cordyceps Fr. Since its valid publication under the basidiomycetous genus Clavaria Vaill. ex L. (Clavariamilitaris L. Sp. Pl. 2:1182, 1753), the genus Cordyceps has undergone nomenclatural changes in the post-Linnaean era, but hasstood firmly for approximately 200 years. Synonyms of Cordyceps were collected from different literature sources and analyzedbased on the species they represent. True synonyms of Cordyceps Fr. were defined as genera that represented species ofCordyceps Fr. emend. G. H. Sung, J. M. Sung, Hywel-Jones & Spatafora. The most common synonyms of Cordyceps observedwere Clavaria and Sphaeria Hall, reported in the 18th and in the first half of the 19th century, respectively. Cordyceps, the oldestgenus in the Cordyceps s. s. clade of Cordycipitaceae, is the most preferred name under the “One Fungus = One Name”principle on priority bases.
