title: Competing sexual-asexual generic names ofPezizomycetesand recommendations for use.
abstract: Following the change that eliminated dual naming of sexual and asexual morphs of fungi, generic names ofPezizomyceteshave been evaluated to determine which of the competing names should be recommended for use. Evaluation is based on congruence of type species to determine if the names are congeneric and which name is most commonly cited as well as priority. In thePezizomycetessix pairs of generic names were determined to compete. In all cases the older name, representing the sexual morph, is recommended for use, specificallyCaloscypharather thanGeniculodendron,Desmazierellarather thanVerticicladium,Miladinarather thanActinosporella,Morchellarather thanCostantinella,Sarcoscypharather thanMolliardiomyces, andTrichophaearather thanDichobotrys.
