Fungal taxonomy is a very active field where nomenclature, classification and characterization of taxa can rapidly change according to the availability of new technologies and information that may contribute to the discovery of their key features. However, the taxonomy-data transfer from the original scientific articles (i.e. primary taxonomy resources) to the sequence databases is an unpaved road. But with the strategy of creating a representative dataset of manageable size where data-curation could be intensively applied reduced the difficulty. The meticulous data curation and phylogenetic analysis performed has proven the validity of molecular based approaches to infer the hierarchical classification of a fungal taxon into high ranks.
