a Key to sequences: 1 = nuc-ssu, 2 = nuc-lsu, 3 = mt-ssu, 4 = mt-lsu; numbers in bold type indicate sequences newly reported in this study.<br />

b Symbols preceding isolate numbers: + indicates that species is placed in this clade; – indicates that species was placed in a different clade; the<br />

placement in this table reflects hypothesised correct placement; ? indicates that species is placed in this clade, but there is uncertainty about the<br />

placement or the identification <strong>of</strong> the isolate; ?? indicates that it is not certain if this isolate was the source <strong>of</strong> the sequence; names and strain numbers in<br />

quotation marks indicate that isolate may be misidentified. Other studies referenced: A = K.-H. Larsson et al. (2004); B = Langer (2002); C = Lim (2001)<br />

This study included 39 genera <strong>of</strong> <strong>resupinate</strong> Homobasidiomycetes<br />

that are represented by more than one species<br />

(Table 3). Of these, 27 are not resolved as monophyletic<br />

(not considering certain taxa where misidentifications are<br />

likely; i.e. ‘Sistotrema muscicola’and‘Trechispora farinacea’,<br />

see below), which indicates how much work there is to be done<br />

in the taxonomy <strong>of</strong> <strong>resupinate</strong> Homobasidiomycetes (Fig. 4).<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also many individual isolates whose placements<br />

conflicted with their expected positions based on morphology<br />

or molecular data from other isolates. Some <strong>of</strong> these results are<br />

probably due to misidentifications, which underscores the importance<br />

<strong>of</strong> studying multiple accessions <strong>of</strong> individual species<br />

when working with taxonomically challenging organisms.<br />

Other problematical results may be due to the usual vagaries <strong>of</strong><br />

molecular systematics, including PCR contamination and clerical<br />

error. Because we cannot positively identify the sources <strong>of</strong><br />

error in most cases, the problematical sequences are designated<br />

as ‘mislabelled’.<br />

1. Cantharelloid clade<br />

Support for the monophyly <strong>of</strong> the cantharelloid clade was<br />

discussed previously. <strong>The</strong> cantharelloid clade includes a seemingly<br />

heterogeneous assortment <strong>of</strong> taxa that have been regarded<br />

as Homobasidiomycetes or heterobasidiomycetes. Basidial<br />

morphology is remarkably diverse, including not only the various<br />

‘heterobasidioid’ <strong>forms</strong>, but also clavate or urniform holobasidia<br />

with six or eight sterigmata (e.g., Botryobasidium<br />

subcoronatum, Sistotrema brinkmannii), and elongate cylindric<br />

holobasidia with two to four sterigmata (e.g., Clavulina<br />

cinerea, Cantharellus cibarius). <strong>The</strong> topology in Fig. 4 implies<br />

that holobasidia may be derived within the cantharelloid<br />

clade, and therefore may not be homologous with holobasidia<br />

in the rest <strong>of</strong> the Homobasidiomycetes. Admittedly, this hypothesis<br />

is based on a weakly supported topology within the<br />

cantharelloid clade (Fig. 4). Nevertheless, it is consistent with<br />

observations that holobasidia in the cantharelloid clade are<br />

stichic (meaning that the axis <strong>of</strong> the first meiotic division is<br />

oriented parallel to the length <strong>of</strong> the basidium) whereas holobasidia<br />

in the remaining clades <strong>of</strong> Homobasidiomycetes are
