Abstract

In Mi et al. (2026; IMA Fungus 17: e 179140), ten new combinations were proposed in Funiliomyces. Subsequent review revealed that certain requirements of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp; Turland et al. 2025, Madrid Code) were not fully met. Specifically, for Funiliomyces biseptatus (Mi et al. 2026), the basionym indicates that the intended spelling of the epithet should be F. biseptatus.

However, this spelling would result in a later homonym of Funiliomyces biseptatus (Aptroot 2004), the type species of the genus, thereby rendering the name illegitimate. In addition, the newly proposed combinations were not registered in Index Fungorum prior to publication as required under Art. F. 5.2, and the identifiers cited corresponded to the basionyms rather than to the new combinations.

This corrigendum provides a replacement name, Funiliomyces biseptatisporus nom. nov., and presents a corrected, Code-compliant treatment of all nine combinations, including newly issued Index Fungorum identifiers.
