#NewStudy in #MycoKeys contrasts accumulation of #FungalSpecies recovered using traditional #mycological approaches w/those recovered w/ #environmental #DNA sequencing. Even when allowing for various kinds of biases, authors found that #SpeciesDiscovery through #environmental sequencing vastly outpaces traditional #species #recovery in a strongly increasing trend over the last 5 years. The authors conclude that dark #fungi form a defining feature of the #fungal kingdom.
