Secondarily homothallic Hymenomycetes: several examples of bipolarity are reinterpreted as being tetrapolar

Abstract

The pairing tables for five species of secondarily homothallic Hymenomycetes, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach, Aleurodiscus canadensis Skolko, Conocybe pubescens (Gill.) Kühner, Coprinus sassii M. Lange & Smith, and Poria vincta var. cinerea (Bres.) Setliff were reorganized and reinterpreted. The fungi are apparently secondarily homothallic tetrapolar, not bipolar or secondarily homothallic bipolar as originally reported.
