Fig. 6. Parsimony analysis of internal transcribed spacers sequences, demonstrating the position of Sorocybe resinae (shown in bold) among species of Capronia<br />

(Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales) <strong>and</strong> its associated anamorph genera. One of 34 equally parsimonious trees (2 607 steps, CI = 0.301, RI = 0.506, RC = 0.153, HI = 0.699),<br />

with mid-point rooting. Bootstrap values above 70 % are shown at the relevant nodes; branches with thick lines occurred in all equally parsimonious trees.<br />

the same as one of his mutant forms of the creosote fungus,<br />

despite never having isolated such a dark spored form from any of<br />

his cultures. Parbery (1969) implied that the demonstrated ability<br />

of the creosote fungus to grow on a diversity of hydrocarbon-rich<br />

substrates favoured the thought that it would be able to grow on<br />

conifer resin. If cultures of the true Sorocybe resinae had been<br />

available, it is unlikely that this confusion would have persisted for<br />

so long. In vitro, the creosote fungus <strong>and</strong> the resin fungus are so<br />

different (Figs 1A, 2C) that it would difficult to defend the idea that<br />

they were mutants of the same fungus. <strong>The</strong>se differences in the<br />

cultures are reflected by the disparate phylogenetic affinities of<br />

what now are clearly demonstrated to be two different species.<br />

Unfortunately, the name Hormodendrum resinae has been<br />

misapplied to the creosote fungus, a species of economic<br />

importance. Also unfortunately, this species is the type of<br />

www.studiesinmycology.org<br />

Hormoconis, a generic name that the community concerned with<br />

this fungus has been slow to adapt to in the 30 years since its<br />

introduction. <strong>The</strong>re are several possible solutions to this problem.<br />

<strong>The</strong> conventional solution would be to apply names based strictly<br />

on the type specimens <strong>and</strong> accept Hormoconis as a synonym of<br />

Sorocybe, or to use it as a generic name for the mononematous<br />

synanamorph of the resin fungus. A new anamorph <strong>genus</strong> would<br />

then be described for the creosote fungus, making <strong>Cladosporium</strong><br />

avellaneum G.A. de Vries the basionym for its type. However, the<br />

resulting binomial would be unfamiliar to those concerned with the<br />

creosote fungus, <strong>and</strong> the earlier literature citing H. resinae would<br />

be misleading.<br />

A more parsimonious solution is possible. Article 14.9 of the<br />

International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (McNeil et al. 2006)<br />

allows for conservation of a name with a different type from that<br />
