Reorganization of Corymbiglomeraceae and New Taxa from Trans-Pacific Tropics

Thomas Crossay published a document on figshare in May 2026 detailing a reorganization of the fungal order Diversisporales. The work describes new genera and species from Mexico and French Polynesia based on morphological and molecular analyses, and maps their distribution using eDNA sequence metadata. The dataset is a DOCX file of 8.6 MB.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on ribosomal eDNA sequences mentioned in the description
• Mapping species distribution patterns based on eDNA sequence metadata
• Studying sporulation dimorphism hypotheses in the genus Albocarpum
• Taxonomic classification of new fungal genera and species

Strengths

• Document describes new genera (Albocarpum, Pulvinocarpum, Melanocarpum) and species based on combined morphological and molecular analysis.
• Includes distribution mapping using eDNA sequence metadata, identifying pantropical patterns and possible endemisms.
• File size is 8.6 MB, indicating a substantial textual document.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific collection sites in Mexico and French Polynesia.
