Notes: Roberts (1999) stated that ‘this species lacks a type collection and should be suitably neotypified.’ (p. 79). A neotype has not yet been designated. Representative sequences for this taxon have been selected from Hibbett & Binder (2002). A BLAST search found that representative sequences for R. fusispora used in this study are identical with sequences considered by Currah et al. (1990) and Taylor & McCormick (2008) to represent Cr. goodyerae-repentis . Phylogenetic analyses in this study similarly clustered the purported sequences of Cr. goodyerae-repentis together with sequences of R. fusispora . It is possible that R. fusispora and Cr. goodyerae-repentis / R. goodyerae-repentis are conspecific; however, Andersen & Stalpers (1994) noted that no type was designated for Cr. goodyerae-repentis / R. goodyerae-repentis , and that no illustration or authentic strain exists. Additionally, Moore’s (1987) treatment of Cr. goodyerae-repentis considered it the teleomorph of Cb. cornigerum . Andersen & Stalpers (1994) considered Cr. goodyerae-repentis and R. goodyerae-repentis as nomina dubia which is followed in this treatment, pending typification of the names.
