CHAPTER F

NAMES of organisms treated as fungi

SECTION 1

LIMITATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF PRIORITY

Article F.1
nomenclatural starting-point

F.1.1. Valid publication of names for non-fossil fungi (Pre. 8) is treated as beginning at 1 May 1753 (Linnaeus, Species plantarum, ed. 1, treated as having been published on that date; see Art. 13.1). For nomenclatural purposes, names given to lichens apply to their fungal component. Names of Microsporidia are governed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (see Pre. 8).

Note 1. For fossil fungi, see Art. 13.1(f).
