Pluteus mushrooms with DNA sequences done by Stephen Russell at Mycota.
This gallery of images show Pluteus mushrooms that have been assigned temporary codes, with many that have been updated. Concerning temporary codes, Stephen Russell says the “temporary code name is not a claim that the species is novel. It is a claim that our determination of the species unit has not been outlined/named satisfactorily in DNA repositories. This is not only based on sequence data, but morphology, ecology, and phenology as well. If a type has been sequenced and we can confidently put a name on it, then that is great. If the type has not been sequenced, or reasonable reference data is not available, we place a temp code name on it until solid reference data is available. That allows us to link specimens together and communicate about the species in the interim.” Furthermore, “reasons to use a temporary code name is when there is conflicting reference data, multiple names in play, a single name being used across multiple species, etc. The temporary code name is a signal that more work needs to be done in some context.” See Using Temporary Code Names for Documenting Macrofungi, Stephan Russell.
