小包脚菇属分类研究进展

Research Progress on Taxonmy of Volvariella(Agricales,Agariciomycetes)

小包脚菇属Volvariella又名草菇属,是一类具有较高经济价值的食用真菌,著名的栽培食用菌草菇Volvariella volvacea即为该属成员。文中从小包脚菇属的分类历史、资源现状、分子系统学研究等方面进行了综述。小包脚菇属分类研究存在的主要问题是形态学研究的分类特征相对较少,已有的分子系统学研究涉及的类群和基因片段偏少,不能很好的反映种、属间的系统发育关系,其确切分类地位需进一步研究;解决上述问题是今后小包脚菇属分类研究的主要方向。

The genus Volvariella is a group of valuable edible fungi,for example,Volvariella volvacea,a famous cultivated mushroom,belongs to this genus.The research progress of Volvariella including taxonomical history,species resource,taxonomy and phylogeny were summarized in this paper.However,a few major issues urgently needed include the classification features for morphological studies,the taxa and gene segments involved in phylogeny work,and the phylogenetic relationship between species and genus as well as the taxonomic status of Volvariella.The future researches will focus on these issues.
