  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Bogoriel".
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; JCM: 1; ATCC: 1; CIP: 1.
  • 🧍 According to Shipunov (2011), this name is a hemihomonym. Publication: Shipunov A. The problem of hemihomonyms and the on-line hemihomonyms database (HHDB). Bionomina 2011; 4:65-72.
  • 🧍 Later homonym of a genus name with standing in the botanical (fungal) nomenclature: Bogoriella Zahlbr. 1928. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is retroactive with respect to fungi, so the name Bogoriella Groth et al. 1997 does contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M.
