Talk:Singerocybe clitocyboides

Family isn't listed on Agaricales article

This needs some work. I updated the taxobox to a species box, adding the given taxonomy to the taxonomy template, but I don't feel confident this is correct, given the state of the Agaricales article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:43, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Genus article Singerocybe has a similar issue. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:50, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

@UtherSRG:, as far as I'm aware there isn't a consensus on Wikipedia to follow any particular classification for fungi. If Mycobank and Index Fungorum disagree, I don't mess with the classification. Mycobank has Singerocybe in Tricholomataceae, and in Index Fungorum it is incertae sedis in Agaricales.

There's a 2020 article by Wijayawardene (and dozens of other authors) that provides a classification of organisms studied by mycologists (including slime molds). Wijayawardene didn't do any phylogenetic work for that article; it's a compilation of various other studies. And there's been a little bit of discussion at the project page about not wanting to follow some of the studies underlying Wijayawardene. Wijayawardene has Singerocybe (and Clitocybe) as incertae sedis in Agaricales. Clitocybaceae wasn't validly published until late November 2020 (there was an earlier invalid publication), so too late to be incorporated into Wijayawardene. Plantdrew (talk) 21:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
