Infundibulicybe[edit]

SHouldn't tis be at Infundibulicybe geotropa since we are currently accepting the genus? Circéus (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See my talk page, but I do wonder why mycobank and Index Fungorum haven't made the big move. I ummed and aahed about that. I was pondering why the move hadn't been adopted wholesale, and my only conclusion is that geotropa wasn't included in the mega- 117 clade study, hence there is a wait for molecular confirmation (???) I don't mind changing it. Might be worth looking into more...Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except geotropa is the type species! We can't have an article for Infundibulicybe while simulataneously placing it's type in another genus! Circéus (talk) 22:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Look I can live with either (why oh why did they have to pick such a long and unpronounceable genus name?), if you and Sasata are for it then a move is prudent. The data thus far make sense, which other sources use the new combination? mushroomexpert is happy with new combo, who else....Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that 117 clades paper, the Clitocybes they included were dealbata, clavipes, connata, glacialis, lateritia, and odorata —none of which are in Harmaja's Infundibulicybe. At least one well-respected group has adopted the new naming (and used molecular data to justify naming a new species). There's only a few recent reports of the taxon in the literature: this group is interested in chemical analysis (PMID 20167240) rather than taxonomy; in this paper, they refer to the species as Infundibulicybe; in this Persian paper, the old name is used. I think we should use the new name and help the rest of them catch up :) (p.s. Fungorum does say Infundibulicybe is the current name; it's hard to tell with MycoBank.)
