Phylogeny

I have commented out the following statement that I cannot find supported by Nuhn ME, Binder M, Taylor AFS, Halling RE, Hibbett DS. (2013). "Phylogenetic overview of the Boletineae". Fungal Biology. doi:10.1016/j.funbio.2013.04.008. ISSN 1878-6146.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

"Based on nuclear large subunit rRNA, Durianella echinulata may be related to Retiboletus; however, the phylogeny lacks support for this placement and D. echinulata is found on a disproportionally long branch within a clade containing Retiboletus spp." I can't see Durianella discussed in the text, nor on either of the two cladograms given in the paper. What am I missing? I've also removed the assertion that this genus is placed in the Boletaceae, as that does not seem to be supported by Nuhn et al. 2013, and replaced it with Desjardin et al.'s placement in the Boletineae (familial placement not given).

It is in the sup. constrained phylogeny. I doubt it will be placed outside of the family. Although it has no support for where it is in the tree, the nodes that support the family and the node (maybe two nodes) immediately after the family are strongly supported. Around 94 and 95 if I recall correctly (ML RAxML analysis).M.E.Nuhn (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
