More Information
  • A revisit of 13 publications published since 1813 to 1931 is presented and the 340 taxa reported are taxonomically re-evaluated. The Egyptian taxa treated belong to two kingdoms and three major groups: zygomycetes (1 spp.), ascomycetes (124 spp.), basidiomycetes (197 spp.) and chromistian fungal analogues (18 species). Taxa of true fungi are distributed among three phyla, ten classes, 38 orders, and 67 families, while Chromistean fungal analogues distributed in only one phylum, two orders and three families. About 35% of the original names of taxa have undergone changes, although for a few new designations are still debatable. The binomials of the remaining taxa are unchanged. Thus despite it being over 200 years since publication of Delile on Egyptian fungi and the present analysis, the taxonomic status of many Egyptian taxa, awaits re-assessment in modern terms.

Abstract: A revisit of 13 publications published since 1813 to 1931 is presented and the 340 taxa reported are taxonomically re-evaluated. The Egyptian taxa treated belong to two kingdoms and three major groups: zygomycetes (1 spp.), ascomycetes (124 spp.), basidiomycetes (197 spp.) and chromistian fungal analogues (18 species). Taxa of true fungi are distributed among three phyla, ten classes, 38 orders, and 67 families, while Chromistean fungal analogues distributed in only one phylum, two orders and three families. About 35% of the original names of taxa have undergone changes, although for a few new designations are still debatable. The binomials of the remaining taxa are unchanged. Thus despite it being over 200 years since publication of Delile on Egyptian fungi and the present analysis, the taxonomic status of many Egyptian taxa, awaits re-assessment in modern terms.
