Singleton-based species names and fungal rarity: Does the number really matter? by Jonathan Cazabonne, Allison K. Walker, Jonathan Lesven, Danny Haelewaters

“…This number is expected to be refined, especially with increasing knowledge about microfungi in undersampled habitats and increasing amounts of data derived from environmental DNA sequencing. A significant proportion of newly generated sequences fail to match with already named species, and thus represent what has been referred to as fungal “dark taxa”. …”
