Taxonomic concepts
Notes
editorial
The complexities of the correctly applied genus ending to determine whether this taxon should ber Pilophoron, Pilophorum or Pilophorus, and hence endings of species epithets, has not been dealt with here. Galloway (2007) used Pilophoron as the genus for synonyms of his Metus conglomeratus'; Index Funogorum (veiwed 22/09/2022) accepts Pilophorus Th. Fr., Stereoc. Piloph. Comm.: 40 (1857); Mycobank (also viewed 22/09/2022) accepts Pilophorum Nyl., Botaniska Notiser 1857: 167 (1857), with Pilophorus Th. Fr., Stereoc. Piloph. Comm.: 40 (1857) and Pilophoron Nyl., Mémoires de la Société Impériale des Sciences Naturelles de Cherbourg 5: 96 (1858) as synonyms.
