A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species

synonyms then follow; obligate synonyms are preceded by " h " (equivalent sign)
and facultative synonyms are preceded by " = " (equal sign). Later authors who
accepted a particular placement of a species are listed in the same paragraph,
preceded by fide, "according to," and the reference (e.g., = Floccularia
luteovirens (Alb. & Schw.:Fr.) Pouz., Pouzar 1957, C -
eská Mykol. 11:49; fide
Singer 1962, Agaricales in Modem Taxonomy p.304). If the accepted name
cannot be determined (e.g. if the name has fallen into disuse or if the concept of
the species is unclear or controversial) a short explanation follows. Each name is
followed by a complete reference to its place of publication. These references are
not repeated in the "Literature Cited" section, which includes only those
publications cited in this introduction. Each taxon or epithet mentioned in this
work that was never combined in Armillaria, but is a synonym of an Amillaria
or Armillariella species, is listed by epithet, followed by the Armillaria or
Armillariella specific epithet under which it may be found in this publication.
Abbreviations of authorities follow Kirk and Ansell (1992). Abbreviations of
herbaria are as in Holmgren et al. (1990). The International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature (Greuter, 1988) is abbreviated ICBN, while IF represents the
Index of Fungi and IFP represents the Index of Fungi, Petrak’s Lists (both from
CAB International). IUFRO represents the Proceedings of Conferences on Root
and Butt Rot, sponsored by the International Union of Forestry Research
Organizations. EBS stands for European Biological Species (Korhonen, 1978;
Anderson, Korhonen, & Ullrich, 1980) and NABS stands for North American
Biological Species (Anderson & Ullrich, 1979; Anderson, Korhonen, & Ullrich,
1980; Anderson, 1986; Morrison, Chu, & Johnson, 1985; Watling, Kile &
Burdsall, 1991).
We hope that this publication will serve to clarify the concept of Amillaria
and its species and serve as a model for nomenclatural studies of other genera.
