[edit] Number of species

The page for Basidiomycota says it contains 22300 species, making up 37% of known fungus species. The ascomycomycota page says it has 12000 species, making up 75% of known fungus species. This is a problem. Both pages require expert attention, but I don't know how to mark them that way. --Savant13 14:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree there is confusion. Until checked in The Dictionary of the Fungi (2001), I think the two sets of numbers should be removed. A new edition is being prepared which will have more numbers.Heliocybe 12:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
