Fungal species are currently undergoing extensive reclassifica-tion, resulting in name changes to medically important species. There are several reasons for this: The removal of the provision for fungi to have different names for anamorph and teleomorph forms from the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (ICN).
