Abstract

The class Sordariomycetes has, over the years, been subjected to numerous taxonomic and phylogenetic changes, resulting in rapid updates in classification. This has resulted in a vast amount of taxonomic information available as publications and in databases. With the aim of compiling all these scattered data and presenting them comprehensively in a single platform, a new website (Sordariomycetes.org), accessible at https://sordariomycetes.org/ is established. This database conveys coherent and up-to-date information on the ranking and classification of taxa within Sordariomycetes. Notes, descriptions and photographic plates of the type or reference materials, phylogenetic trees, the current number of morphologically accepted species and those with molecular data along with their ecological and / or economic importance in each genus are provided. This is a user-friendly platform, which provides easy access to relevant information.
