Type.

eDNA sample TUE100189 (holotype); eDNA sequence EUK1202520 (lectotype); GSMc plot G2836 Finland, subpolar Betulapubescens forest (soil sample TUE000189) in Kelottijärvi, Finland, 68.60353°N, 21.74517°E.

Description.

Other sequences: EUK1603540, (GSMc plot G4196, Populus-Picea-Pinus forest soil in Kahvena, Estonia, 58.27991°N, 25.23165°E); EUK1603663 (GSMc plot G4406, mixed coniferous forest soil in Tarumaa, Estonia, 59.20745°N, 27.15333°E); EUK1602832 (GSMc plot G5828, Malusdomestica orchard soil in Mooste, Estonia, 58.15335°N, 27.19642°E); and KP889965 (coniferous forest soil in British Columbia, Canada) that was first isolated by Shannon H.A. Guichon (Guichon 2015).

Etymology.

Kelottijärvi (Finnish) refers to type locality; and Shannon (English) refers to the first name of Shannon H.A. Guichon who collected the first materials belonging to this genus.

Notes.

Found in Estonia, Finland and Canada, with ITS and LSU sequences displaying up to 2% and 1% of differences, respectively.
