Brief history of main fungal names in fungal taxonomy (the important events in fungal taxonomy and nomenclature can be referred to the important perspective of Lücking et al. (1)). The taxon names in green boxes are 20 currently used phyla of kingdom fungi and other taxa of fungus-like taxa based on the research of Wijayawardene et al. (24,31). The taxon names in white boxes are the other phyla published in the history but not included in Wijayawardene's research and first taxa at ranks of order, family and genus published in the history. The taxon names in blue boxes are names related to kingdom name history of ‘fungi’.
